+ Present

<AllanJ> scribe: jallan

<AllanJ> kp: overlaps between LV and mobile, id and note difference so 
we make sure everyone is covered.

<AllanJ> mobile spreadsheet:

<AllanJ> Low Vision Needs: 
http://w3c.github.io/low-vision-a11y-tf/user-needs-coverage.html

<AllanJ> in Mobile reviewing Draft Proposals


      spacing between touch targets

JA 2.2 synergy between user groups – low-vision user stories here as well

Jim: especially when you're working on smaller screen – zero into get 
your finger in the right place

JA especially if you are holding the device closer your finger gets in 
the way more

<AllanJ> jon: it has synergy. if holding device close finger gets in the 
way more

<AllanJ> jake: relationship between target size. no SC at AA. Patrick 
lauk - target is measured from center. the issues is for small targets 
-- they need more space. larger targets it is not so much an issue.

<AllanJ> ... need a target size SC at AA


      Portrait - Landscape content

<AllanJ> jon: turn to landscape to make text bigger.

<AllanJ> ... more lines on the page. and buttons (all content) get bigger.


      indication of gestures

<AllanJ> jon: swipe from left to open a menu. but no indication. COGA 
issue. this is a general accordance issue.


      Focus disappearing under sticky element

<AllanJ> jake: focus visible - when focused element should be visible - 
not covered by sticky element

<AllanJ> jon: half hidden is difficult. should work at different zoom levels

<AllanJ> jake: easy to create a technique.

Jim: general issues with sticky headers – separate from focus which is 
more critical

<AllanJ> jim: low vision has issues sticky elements in general. Focus is 
more critical. We have techniques.

<AllanJ> jon: content that is focused should be visible also.


      focus Management

<AllanJ> jon: focus management is an issue for lowvision.

<AllanJ> jake: examples... table with 5 columns, zoom in only 3 col 
visiable. cell has active element, table changes size and col with ...

<AllanJ> ... have a global convention. should be in an SC

<AllanJ> jon: open discussion on github.

<AllanJ> jon: can an author know when user changes size and breakpoints 
to manage the focus.

<AllanJ> jake: knows situations when focus is lost.

<AllanJ> jon: if I have focus, I zoom in to look at something, if I move 
focus does the screen follow.

<AllanJ> jake: need some research - when something disappears, the focus 
should return to parent element


      Custom gestures

<AllanJ> jon: zoom in iOS is 3finger control. yes there potentially is a 
problem. setting in iOS - can change gestures.

<AllanJ> jim: who manages the conflict the user or app


      Low Vision, proximity of related information


      LV - proximity of related information

JA: with mobile if people have to zoom in and a site is not responsive 
than any mobile users going to have that
... problem with that is not in the visible viewport

Jake: example page when you calculate your mortgage divided 50-50 left 
side fill in what you earn
... when you zoom in if you pan you only see the left side
... miss relationship – if you zoom in you don't have the opportunity to 
compare

Jim: use case with mobile

Jake: if it read flows than without the proximity people have a hard 
time getting the information clear


      justification

Jim: users can change justification but we know that full justification 
is bad – author doesn't have control over whether user can change 
justification that's a browser issue

JA: Might have to have an exception if example legal needs to be full 
justified
... you might have to go all the way to the edge of the screen to read 
so this way you don't necessarily have to go all the way to the edge so 
it makes more information viewable on the left edge so there's actually 
more content viewable on the screen at any time for users in general. 
But of course that's assuming that it doesn't reflow. That mitigates 
that issue for mobile users

Jim: so there's a mobile use case


      visual affordancee

Jim: we had two SC's
... as sites get more minimal trouble knowing where to click

JA: more of an issue for mobile because you can't use a pointing device 
you do have to rely more on affordances
... I'll use a stylus to put a border around anything that's actionable 
so I can find it – or start tabbing on the screen to find out what is 
actionable

Jim: on mobile that's more difficult because you can't use an external 
stylesheet on mobile what you touches what it is
... if some particular on-screen keyboard comes up you say I did find it

<AllanJ> kim: this in combination with instructions then user doesn't 
know where to start

Kim: third one down in the mobile spreadsheet


      page refresh

Jake: when I read this one a couple of days ago – I have been busy with 
this one this week the opposite way around. We have a single page app 
and when you click on one of the main menu links

<AllanJ> related to mobile focus management.

Jake: we have a menu on the left side – used to be that when you click 
on another menu in the main menu the content change but you do not have 
a page refresh you do not know that the main content changed
... you would like the page title to be read to you, the focus to be 
reset and normally two options reset it to the H1 of the main content or 
just put it back to the body element so you start all over again
... so I do understand your point but this one, the way it was written 
is exactly what you do want where a single page app you want to simulate 
multiple pages. Click the link parts of the page refresh and you want 
the focus to be set on the body

JA: depends on the type of user. We struggle with this. One of the 
things we've come up with is if the navigation has changed the top 
refocused back to the body but if the navigation has been consistent and 
you are moving to another page with the same structure keep it – it 
matters what has changed

Jake: people expect the same behavior – in our case specifically when 
you click on the link you have no idea anything – you just go to another 
page

JA: I don't know if that would fall under 4.1.3 – you don't know if the 
page has changed
... on the desktop you have a page title you can check that. On mobile 
it's not that visually apparent so you really don't know where you are 
even if you end up on the body you don't have context of what's changed 
on that page
... knowing the each one of the title is important to knowing where you went

Jake: when new information is added to a page – maintain focus at the 
current location. That's exactly what caused the problem in our case
... we have two cases. In one case you want to maintain the focus. But 
in another case you don't want that
... simulating a page load which tells you you are on a new page

Jim: when new information is added to a page through content update or 
injection maintain the focus at the current location – so I'm thinking 
of I'm in a table and I click on a button that says sort this column and 
instead of staying right there in my table where I've sorted it jumps me 
up to the top of the page and I have to go time my
... Find my table again

JA: when some small part of the change has updated and that changes the 
point of regard. If you just sort the table and focus goes back to the 
top everybody's got to go back to where they were

Jim: we are focused on the small one – is mobile focused on the larger 
one for your focused management?

Jake: it's about context or non-context change. I'm talking about the 
opposite
... if we can make this one a little bit more smart and clear what we 
mean – I agree

<AllanJ> context change (whole page) - non-context change (portion of page)

Jim: we are at the end of the call – I will update both documents

<laura> Yes. Useful. Thanks.
