'Comment hover-over' prevents screen reading applications used by visually impaired from identifying available operations

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      From the support request:

      We have several blind users who use screen reading software in order to use JIRA. The new JIRA 4.1.1 has an issue where the screen reading software cannot "see" the edit comment hover item. Do you know if you can disable the hover over and make the edit link stay....I assume if it stays as a link the screen reader will be able to read it.

            Hi,

            This is a bulk update to specific issues in the JIRA (JRA) project

            As part of an effort to ensure we are transparent about the JIRA issues on jira.atlassian.com, we have decided to resolve those that have been open for multiple years with minimal activity and with a low number of votes. In light of the fact that JIRA is rapidly changing and that this issue may not be a valid request any longer, we will be resolving it today.

            Votes are not the only metric that we use to determine the requests that are implemented, however they do factor in to our decision making process. We have decided that the combination of this issue being open for a long period of time, and it's low number of votes means that we are unlikely to implement it. If you would like thoughts on how we use jira.atlassian.com, please see: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/110373/how-does-the-jira-team-use-jira-atlassian-com

            If you have believe this issue is still relevant, please comment on the issue and we will respond. We are watching all these issues that we bulk close.

            Best regards
            Roy Krishna and Josh Devenny

            'Hover-over' behaviour can be changed on the the server level by editing global-static.css:

            .actionContainer .action-links {visibility:hidden;}

            Alternatively, most browsers allow to overwrite CSS included in a page for e.g. for firefox it is done in userContent.css and perhaps similarly for other browsers.

             @-moz-document url-prefix(http://localhost:8090/jira) {
.actionContainer .action-links {visibility:visible ! important;}
}

            Please note, this workaround is not officially supported and it may not be compatible/work in newer JIRA versions. Any further assistance on problems related to the customisation should be can be obtained through community supported forums.atlassian.com
