      Screen Recording

      Keyboard-only users cannot dismiss notifications quickly

      Actual Results

      When creating a subtask, a notification appears at the bottom of the page. Although the notification has a dismiss button, keyboard-only users must navigate through the entire page to reach it. There is no keyboard shortcut or quick way to dismiss the notification efficiently. As a result, this increases navigation effort for users who rely on keyboards or assistive technologies.

      Expected Results

      Keyboard-only and assistive technology users can quickly and easily dismiss subtask notifications.

      Apply the following changes:

      • Ensure notifications are easily dismissible via keyboard without requiring users to tab through the entire page.
      • Provide a keyboard shortcut or another efficient mechanism to dismiss notifications quickly.

      Workaround

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