      Actual Results

      When user add an inline comment for particular context the inline comment gets added with respective context. The context becomes interactive (on which user has been added the inline comment) which is only accessible by mouse click. As a result, screen reader users are not able to access the functionality associated with it.

      Expected Results

      Ensure that inline comments should be accessible for all the users including visually impaired users. To achieve this we can make the context keyboard focusable. 

      Workaround

      Click on "View inline comments" buttons to show all inline comments popup. Current it is accessible with keyboard & screen reader at the end of the page.
