To be clear for everyone, the language being accepted is at https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/accidental-activation_ISSUE-65//guidelines/#accidental-activation <https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/accidental-activation_ISSUE-65/guidelines/#accidental-activation> 

 

Here’s the SC text:

For single-pointer activation, at least one of the following is true:

* Activation is on the up event, either explicitly or implicitly as a platform's generic activation/click event;
* A mechanism is available that allows the user to choose the up-event as an option;
* Confirmation is provided, which can dismiss activation;
* Activation is reversible;
* Down-event activation event is essential and waiting for the up-event would invalidate the activity.

 

Thanks,

Call For Consensus — ends Thurs April 13th at 1:00pm Boston time.

On todays call the WG came to a resolution and accepted the proposed SC 'Accidental Activation'. [1]

Here are previous responses, and the most recent survey. [2] [3]

If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have not been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you “not being able to live with” this decision, please let the group know before the CfC deadline.
