Describe the Bug

Hello,

Just tried to use Floccus (5.2.5) with a screenreader (NVDA 2024.3) under Windows (10) with Firefox (129.0.1).
It seems that the radio buttons don't get proper focus when activated with the keyboard using a screen reader.
Clicking them with the mouse emulator seems not to work as well.

Greetings,
Simon

Expected Behavior

It should work as expected. :-)

To Reproduce

Try to create a new profile. then try to activate the radio buttons using the keyboard.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Figured out that this problem also exists on my Android phone with Floccus 5.2.5 and Talkback as the screen reader.

I sadly cannot reproduce this in the latest version with Gnome's screenreader on Linux. The inputs seem to have all the necessary aria labels, from what I can see. Can you try again?

Hi @marcelklehr ,

Just tried with v5.4.4.
Radio buttons in creating a profile still don't activate.
Aria is fine though they can't be activated using the keyboard.

Greetings,
Simon

Mh, I can reach the radio buttons using the arrow keys.

Hi,

Yes they can be reached.
But can they also be activated?

Yes, with space, I think. Ah, no they activate directly when reaching them via the arrow keys.

Hi,

Thats interesting.
When i try to enable the radio buttons directly that seems not to work.
Though next to the radio button there seems to be a clickable area.
When i use that one the radio buttons above/next to them activate.

I'll try to update the component library used by floccus, but I don't have high hopes for this, especially because I cannot reproduce it.

I might be able to get a web dev to look it at it as well. Maybe we can find out what is going on.
