new-window-launches-on-focus

When a component is focused a new window gets launched.

Severity: Serious

Description

A new window is opened when the component is focused.

Why is it important?

For people with impairments who use a keyboard to navigate through a website, there must be explicit triggers or sufficient communication if a new window is being launched as it can be confusing to the user.

Examples

  • Success:
    • Using activate as the trigger to launch a new window.
  • Failure:
    • Using focus as the trigger to launch a new window.

How to fix?

Use activate rather than focus as the trigger for a context change to resolve this issue.
