Actual Results

In the details section for the available bugs, the "Close details" element which is used to close the details panels do not receive keyboard alone and screen reader focus. When the element is activated via mouse click the details panel closes. 

The element is coded into <span class="ghx-iconfont aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-close-dialog">Close detail ( T )</span> incorrectly.

This makes it keyboard-only and screen reader users difficult to access close element to close the details panel.

Expected Results

Following are the expected keyboard interactions.

• The interactive element "Close details" should be able to receive keyboard focus and the screen reader focus.
• The screen reader should announce the element as a "Close details button"
• On closing the details panel the focus should go to the selected details in the Todo section.

Apply the following suggested fixes in the source code.

• Provide a clear & descriptive label and role to the checkbox element. For Example: 

1. role="button" or code the element into <button> attribute.
2. Additionally add aria-label="Close details tab" to the button.
