Issue Summary

The "Expand/Collapse Sidebar" button is positioned incorrectly.

2. Using a screen reader, navigate through the page using the Tab key.
3. Notice that the "Expand/Collapse Sidebar" button is positioned incorrectly.

Screen Recording

Incorrect button placement

Actual Results

The "Expand/Collapse Sidebar" button is positioned incorrectly in the navigation order, resulting in inconsistent behavior depending on the sidebar state. When the sidebar navigation is visible, the button appears before the "Search" field, with the navigation order as follows: "Collapse sidebar" button → Search field → "Actions navigation" → "Sidebar" section. When the sidebar navigation is hidden, the "Expand sidebar" button appears before the "Switch sites or apps" button. This inconsistent placement does not align with the logical structure of the page and leads to an unexpected navigation experience for keyboard and screen reader users.

Expected Results

The "Expand/Collapse Sidebar" button should be consistently positioned after the "Actions navigation" section and before the "Sidebar navigation" section, regardless of whether the sidebar is visible or hidden. This ensures a logical and predictable focus order for keyboard and screen reader users.

Apply the following changes:

• Place the "Expand/Collapse Sidebar" button in the DOM after "Actions navigation" and before "Sidebar navigation".
• Ensure the focus sequence (Tab order) matches the visual and semantic structure of the page.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
