The Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC) reported that it was confusing that focus was moved to the templates and folders search textbox when the page loaded on the templates page. We noted that this issue wasn't reported on the page where you enter your SMS 2-factor code. From this, we determined that pages with a single task could benefit from focus moving to the part of the page that lets you do that task. Because of this we: - found all the pages we shift focus on when they load - kept it for pages where the focus shift is important for what users do on the page - removed it for all other pages (including templates) The work was completed in: https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/3622 This work also changed the label of the focused element as a hack to get the page title read out. This normally happens on load to indicate a navigation has happened but didn't in Voiceover when we focused an element on load. After testing with JAWS and NVDA we found only Voiceover does this. As Voiceover has the smallest market share, and navigation can be inferred by other mean, we removed it in: https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/3673 That was deployed today.
