ca-dropdown menu not accessible using the keyboard.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

when the browser window is small (which a blind person would never know), some (ca-*) tabs (like "history") get moved into a drop-down menu, glued to a down-arrow icon. The menu drops down when the mouse is hovered over the icon.

This dropdown is totally inaccessible to blind people, the icon has no title or any other indication what it does, there is no way to activate the drop-down. There doesn't even seem to be a way to navigate there using the keyboard at all.

This report results from feedback from the German Central Library for the Blind
(DZB). Please see
