RE: Add Dragging SC to WCAG 2.2 draft

Hi Wilco,

I’m trying to make some progress on this one, I’ve adjusted the wording (thanks Glenda) and made the first use of “target” a link:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1113/files#diff-8c0e9ad76dafdaba2b22e75a981e0f65


I didn’t understand your last comment on the game example though, could you clarify?

Kind regards,

-Alastair

Hi Wilco,

> - In this definition of "dragging movement", does "target" refer to "target" as defined in WCAG 2.1. If so, should it be linked to the target definition?

We can link that, it seems like a minor change.


> - Also in "dragging movement", what is "directionality at the onset of the movement"? Was that added because of my comment on swiping? If so, I don't think that actually excludes swiping.

It isn’t intended to exclude swiping, but to capture things where the target goes with the movement. The gesture the user does might be identical to a swipe, but it only applies if the target element goes with the pointer.


> - Was the intent not to include dragging motions where instead of moving the "target" along with the pointer, some other UI indicator was used? For example some games when you drag something around will draw an arrow from the target to the drop position. The definition of "dragging movement" seems to exclude those kinds of drag and drop actions.

I don’t think I get this, if there is *also* an arrow showing where it can go, how does that affect the definition? It applies “until the up event", how is the drag & drop affected?

I also realised I linked up the wrong minutes, sorry, corrected in the PR, the latest one was here:
