[ui5-dialog]: navigate outside of dialog with Virtual PC Cursor

[ivoplashkov]

Bug Description

We received an issue in our rich-text-editor component, where user complains that when any dialog window is opened, switching to Virtual PC Cursor mode and navigating using the arrow keys reveals an issue: after reaching the end of the dialog, continuing to press the arrow key allows the screen reader’s Virtual PC Cursor to move into the background content. This means the screen reader can access content that should be hidden while the dialog is open, which can cause confusion for users.

Affected Component

ui5-dialog

Expected Behaviour

The background content should remain inaccessible to screen readers until the dialog is closed. I have tested with native dialog and the Virtual Cursor does not allow me to go outside of the dialog.

Isolated Example

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open JAWS and enable Virtual PC Curor on
2. Go to https://ui5.github.io/webcomponents/components/Dialog/#basic-sample and open the Dialog.
3. It's observed that ArrowUp/ArrowDown enables the user to reach content outside of the Dialog.

Hi colleagues,

The issue seems to be JAWS related and is fixed with their latest updates, therefore I am closing this as completed.

Thanks and regards,
