Severity 3 - Minor
Issue Summary
The native "space" combo box in the "Set Page Location" modal dialog on the "Create Page | Set Page Location" page utilised tabindex="3" needlessly.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the “Create page | Set Page Location” page.
- Activate the "location" icon in the m, main content area.
- Observe the "Set Page Location" modal dialog appear
- Inspect the code of the combobox and notice that the tabindex attribute is incorrectly specified.
Screenshot

Actual Results
The native "space" combo box in the "Set Page Location" modal dialog as used positive tabindex="3.
Inaccurate use of the 'tabindex' attribute in the HTML code of the page is the source of the problem. In fact, ‘tabindex’ attribute has been incorrectly specified for the native combo box.
This resulted in keyboard-only users having to go pass an additional tab stop while navigating between the page content.
Expected Results
Natively programmed elements should not contain the tabindex property.
In the source code, remove the 'tabindex' property from the "Space" combobox element.
Code snippet
<select id="chosenSpaceKey" name="chosenSpaceKey" class="select"> <option value="ds">Demonstration Space</option> <option value="LEAR">Learn</option> <option value="SFT">Space for a team</option> <option value="TEST" selected="selected">Test</option> </select>
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
