RE: A question about immediate feedback

No. this is not a time limit issue apart from there being enough time for
the information to be conveyed to users programmatically . it is a status
message as normatively defined for success criterion 4.1.3 although - as I
said in an earlier email - it's arguably completely superfluous especially
given it is displayed outside the sight-line of even people with average
visual acuity & unrestricted visual field.

Adam Cooper said:  "It should be onscreen for as long as you believe it is
necessary for everybody to consume its content and then disappear."

 

Adam, I would have thought that automatically disappearing toast
notifications are a violation of 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable. Unless they
disappear when they are no longer valid or one of the other mechanisms (turn
off, adjust, extend) are implemented.

 

Interested to hear your view on this.
