Focus visible - "unobscure" bullet

Hi everyone,

Michael Gower introduced a variation on the survey question, which was to add a (different) 4th bullet aimed at preventing the sticky heading/footer issue.

I'd like to get the group's opinion whether that solves the problem with three examples.

Given the current SC text:
https://raw.githack.com/w3c/wcag/wcag22-focus-visible-enh-updates/understanding/22/focus-visible-enhanced.html

Add the bullet:
"Unobscured: The item with focus is not entirely hidden by author-created content"

(Notice this bullet applies to the element, the previous bullets apply to the focus indicator.)

And consider three scenarios, which of these pass/fail?


  1.  A link (and its focus indicator) that is completely hidden by a sticky footer as you tab down.

  2.  A link (and its focus indicator) that is partially hidden by a sticky footer as you tab down.

  3.  A focus indicator is that is hidden by it's wrapper, permanently so scrolling is not a factor.

For the last scenario, I included that as part of the test page here:
https://alastairc.uk/tests/wcag22-examples/sticky-footer4.html

And a screenshot of the partially hidden focus indicator:
[Two images, one has an outer border along 2 sides.]

Answers to the pass/fail on the 3 scenarios would be very helpful in resolving this...

Kind regards,

-Alastair
