you can no longer use the keyboard to navigate on the restyled "FreeStyle" job configuration page.

      There is no way to change the tabs which would confuse a user (they are not tabs - but look like tabs? - when an item gets focus via a tab key the "tab" thing should change highlight as it does if you just scroll
      The tabbing order of the items and help is completely out of whack.

          The tabbing order of the items and help is completely out of whack.

          Not a regression from 1.x. Order there is browser UI/chrome, then help, then page navigation/header (which is mostly gone from 2.x), then form elements, then footer, and it's still the same in 2.0-beta-1.

          It's still the last element (even though visually it's first), but could probably use a focus highlight.

          Do you mean here that tab focus jumps to help icons when adding an item to a hetero-list. If not, I don't understand what the problem is.

          I think the main issue would be with the red X display, here. Tabs may be better to stay excluded from keyboard navigation, as the user can still tab through the form like 1.x.

          kzantow I thought the issue was that tab highlighting doesn't change if you use keys to navigate down the page. When you scroll down the form the tab highlighting changes based on your location. I agree that using keyboard to go through tabs would make things more difficult.

          If it is possible to navigate to the red X with keyboard and we simply have to show this better with highlighting then I don't think this should be a critical bug blocking release. As long as there are no regressions from 1.x functionality I would rather not risk breaking something else before we release.

          Hmmm.... I tested this on 1.x before I filed it. I just went to double check and it's as you describe.

          hrmpw so yes. If the RedX is not visually highlighted in 2.0 how do you know it is selected - how do you know you have navigated to it?
          Do you expect people to just randomly guess what they have selected? In 1.x it gets a nice visual border.
          This is critical for anyone that does not / can not use a mouse.

          I thought the issue was that tab highlighting doesn't change if you use keys to navigate down the page.

          That is another accessibility described here.
