JAWS bug: “Now” button is not output correctly #932

Open

Description

@havvamehfooz

If the user navigates from button group to the “Now” button using the TAB key, the “Now” button is not output by JAWS due to a bug. Instead, JAWS outputs the button group again.

Notes:
-The problem occurs in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
-The problem does not occur if the value was changed immediately beforehand in the button group.
-The problem does not occur when navigating to the “Now” button with SHIFT+TAB.
-The problem does not occur when reading linearly with the JAWS virtual cursor.
-The problem does not occur with NVDA.

Please note:
This is only considered a minor issue because the element is used within a secondary function. If the problem were to occur in other areas of application, it would be considered more serious

Example:
The issue is hardly reproducible with JAWS 2026 in VPC mode via the following native html sample: https://jsfiddle.net/utqcjndf/1/
