Cause
As of the b1805 release when using the "Enhanced Screen Reader Support" and/or "Enhanced Keyboard Navigation" feature, the Calender is disabled and Edit Text is visible.
- Options > Accessibility Settings: "Enhanced Screen Reader Support" and/or "Enhanced Keyboard Navigation"
Resolution
- The calendar will be hidden, if Enhanced Screen Reader Support and/or Enhanced Keyboard Navigation are enabled, because at the moment the calendar is not announced well by the screen reader and therefore not usable for people using screen reader.
- If Enhanced Screen Reader Support and/or Enhanced Keyboard Navigation are enabled edit instructions are made visible.
- This feature can be enabled for all users or for individual users.
- If the feature is enabled for all users, regardless of whether the use a screen reader or keyboard navigation, all users will be impacted by this. This is enabled or disabled via:
- Admin Center > Company, System and Logo Settings > Enhanced screen reader support and keyboard navigation.
- We recommend disabling the global feature (Admin Center > Company, System and Logo Settings > Enhanced screen reader support and keyboard navigation) and enabling it only for those users who require it.
This can be done for individual users via:
- Options > Accessibility Settings: "Enhanced Screen Reader Support" and/or "Enhanced Keyboard Navigation"
