      Actual Results

      The "Advanced Roadmaps keyboard shortcuts", "From anywhere in Jira", "When viewing a plan" and "When viewing a program" heading text in the "Advanced Roadmaps keyboard shortcuts" modal dialog that becomes available on activating the "Help" and "Advanced Roadmaps keyboard shortcuts" buttons in the header section is announced with inappropriate heading levels resulting in screen reader users finding it difficult to understand the dialog's structure.

      Expected Results

      The heading levels should be defined as per the visual hierarchy of the dialog to enable screen reader users to understand the dialog's structure.

      Apply the following changes:

      • Mark up the "Advanced Roadmaps keyboard shortcuts" heading text using <h1> element.
      • Mark up the "From anywhere in Jira", "When viewing a plan" and "When viewing a program" heading text using <h2> element.

      Code Example:

      <h1 tabindex="-1" id="jpo-keyboard-shortcuts-dialog-title">Advanced Roadmaps keyboard shortcuts</h1>
      (...)
      <h2 class="global">From anywhere in Jira</h2>

      Workaround

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