As someone who is physically disabled, it’s hard to rely on the scrolling aspect of the documentation using arrow keys to move through the documentation. What happens is once you hit a new property, method, or header, instead of continuing scrolling through the page, it starts scrolling through the sidebar instead. This makes it tedious for developers like me as we have to reclick hundreds of times on the documentation part of the site just to scroll to the bottom of the page.
Expected Behavior
You should be able to scroll through the documentation site with ease and no pauses
Actual Behavior
When you scroll, one you hit a new section (ie header, property, method, etc) it starts scrolling through the sidebar
Issue Area: Documentation Site Issue Type: Other Impact: Moderate Frequency: Constantly
Thanks for the report! We are very sorry to hear you are having a hard time scrolling the documentation page. We’ve filled a ticket in our internal database and we’ll get back to you with updates as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your report, we had since made strides and have redesigned the reference pages and believe this scrolling issue is now resolved! I will mark this as Fixed. Please let me know if you see any other issues with our documentation pages. Appreciate your report!
Hmmmm, it seems that the problem has come back again. Whenever I scroll down with an arrow key and enter a new section, it starts scrolling throw the sections instead of allowing me to continue scrolling through a guide.
@WooleyWool On it! When you say it starts scrolling through the sections, do you mean, it starts going through the “On this Page” sidebar to the right, instead of allowing you to continue scrolling through the page?
I’ve switched this issue back to In Progress from Fixed and am working on a fix.
@WooleyWool We have a fix we are shipping shortly today (EDIT: correction - this week) that allows scrolling on pages now, without having the focus jump to a sidebar. Check it out!
Here is a demo on the MeshPart page using arrow up and arrow down. Also, page up and down works, too.
Would this fix your problem? Are there other accessibility issues with the site you want to highlight?
That’s exactly what I’d love !!! Makes it so much easier to go through a page since I don’t use my scroll wheel to scroll because it’s hard for me to use.
As of right now, there isn’t anything that’s inaccessible that I’ve come across but if I find anything else, I’ll make a post!
