[Amsterdam] Fixing some focus states #4876

cchaos · 2021-06-11T18:04:24Z

Preface

The Amsterdam theme prioritizes using the browser's internal focus management through the outline property. However, browsers not only display these slightly differently, but also controls when to display them differently. For instance, specifically on Mac OS:

Chrome: Always displays the outline on regular :focus, but supports the new :focus-visible property to control the display of the focus outline only when using the keyboard.
Safari: Does not support :focus-visible (yet), but already chooses not to show the outline on :focus unless using the keyboard to navigate.
Firefox: Supports :focus-visible but does not support customizing the outline-color.

This portion of the reset file also explains further alongside the code.

eui/src/themes/eui-amsterdam/global_styling/reset/_reset.scss

Lines 72 to 89 in 7dc7da7

    
           *:focus { 
        
             // 👉 Safari and Firefox innately respect only showing the outline with keyboard only 
        
             // 💔 But they don't allow coloring of the 'auto'/default outline, so contrast is no good in dark mode. 
        
             // 👉 For these browsers we use the solid type in order to match with `currentColor`. 
        
             // 😦 Which does means the outline will be square 
        
             outline: $euiFocusRingSize solid currentColor; 
        
             outline-offset: -($euiFocusRingSize / 2); 
        
             // 👀 Chrome respects :focus-visible and allows coloring the `auto` style 
        
             &:focus-visible { 
        
               outline-style: auto; 
        
             } 
        
             //🙅‍♀️ But Chrome also needs to have the outline forcefully removed from regular `:focus` state 
        
             &:not(:focus-visible) { 
        
               outline: none; 
        
             } 
        
           }

By adding that to the reset file, all focusable elements will have the same focus behavior (within each browser). By all "focusable" elements, that also means anything with a forced tabindex. There are a few caveats and gotchas that the following components ran into and therefore needed custom focus states/fixes.

EuiPopover

Slightly fixes #4443.

Accessibility note: Accessibility standards require that elements with overflow scrolling ability should be focusable.

I saw this PR only slightly fixes #4443, because the issue still remains for Safari users. This is because, again, Safari uses it's own "magic" to determine when to show focus outlines. While it de-prioritizes outline on most interactive elements until using they keyboard to navigate, it does prioritize it when content "pops" in, focus is moved to a new element via JS.

One of the main problems that was happening in the issue, though, was that when using EuiContextMenu, there are then 2 panels that get a tabindex for shifting focus. I removed the visible outline solely from the context menu panel, but left it on the normal EuiPopover.

So that instead of multiple focus rings when tabbing like:

We only get one that is placed (somewhat, at least the arrow is visible) correctly.

EuiHeaderBreadcrumbs

Fixes #4719

Technical note: Header breadcumbs use clip-path to create their arrow shape. Using clip-path means any outer style like outline and box-shadow are not visible outside of the clip-path.

Because of the technical note above, without any customizations, the EuiHeaderBreadcrumbs focus state looked odd because it was cut off by the clip-path.

Even using box-shadow did not work because of the clip-path.

So the best solution I found was to just eliminate the clip-path when the breadcrumb is :focus-visible.

Note that the "overflow" breadcrumb has a slightly inner focus ring, this is because of how the display had to be handled with a popover. I didn't think this variant compromising enough to warrant a complete re-work of the elements.

Also, while this still doesn't fix Safari, it's a good compromise of effective focus states and waiting for support.

EuiButtonGroup

Fixes #4684

Technical note: The current functionality of :focus-visible cannot be used to target elements via :focus-within. This discussion is on going and may be supported in the future via :has().

#4056 refactored EuiButtonGroup for much better (innate) accessibility usability. There are essentially two types that render different HTML elements.

multi renders <button>s because their selection are independent of one another and we just use the aria-pressed attribute for selection.
single renders visually hidden radio inputs encompassed by a clickable <label> element.

The single type of button group is what got tricky because of not supporting :focus-within so originally, and probably mistakenly, we left off the focus outlines hoping we'd get support soon.

Instead, now this PR prioritizes showing some sort of focus state if there's no support for :focus-visible-within. The result is that multi groups work similarly to the regular buttons (only show outline during keyboard nav), but single groups will always show focus ring even when using the mouse (in Chrome & Firefox).

Note to reviewers: This needs to be a quick fix so that we can get it into Kibana 7.14. There is certinaly more we can do to tackle focus states, but let's keep this scope limited and make issues for follow up.

+  &:focus {
+    outline: none; // Hide focus ring because of `tabindex=0` on Safari
+  }


(not blocking)

Rather than removing the focus outline, can we set tabindex to -1 instead? (L519)

I don't imagine the context menu scrolls? (Or, if it does, that'd probably be the edge so I'd rather optimize for the general case and remove a tab stop).

Hmm, the problem is that Safari still puts focus rings on tabindex=-1 so we'll still have this effect:

That focus ring around the whole popover is, just that, around the popover.

There used to be two tab stops: the popover and the context menu. Now there's one.

You could go into the example and set tabIndex="-1" for the popover panel to remove it.

Created #4884 to further discuss

Update

I added just a few more updates to the mix:

EuiBetaBadge

The new accent color was still getting the focus ring color from currentColor, but the text color was white so I just made them all black (white in dark mode).

EuiCard

Not a focus state, but the disabled state was indiscernable on subdued backgrounds so I just made it match disabled buttons.

And one last thing...

I was told the EuiCard.hasBorder was working but TS didn't like it. So I just pushed a fix to allow passing this prop through to the EuiPanel.

cchaos · 2021-06-16T16:38:06Z

One more one last thing 😉

When I was fixing the cards ^^, I realized that the border-radius' of EuiPanel's were completely wrong. It was still getting the default theme value of 4px instead of the updated value of 6px 🤦 .

Before

After

This will actually make quite the impact on consuming applications. 😬 But it's technically a bug fix.

After working with focus states I can say that now you're my focus states hero! 🦸‍♀️

I really like the extra updates. The panels look much better with a higher border-radius and the disabled card looks great.
