Accessibility: visible focus indicator, keyboard access

[patrick_h_lauke]

There are currently a few instances of controls in dialog boxes that have accessibility issues. A quick non-exhaustive bunch of examples:

- the graphical aspect ratio lock button (for instance in the Resize Document dialog) can be focused and activated with the keyboard, but lacks a visible focus indication (affinity-focus-visible-lock.gif)

- radio buttons receive focus, but lack a focus indication; in most cases though, they can still be activated with the keyboard (using Space) (affinity-focus-visible-radios)

- there are some radio buttons that do receive focus, lack a visible focus indication, and in addition, even when they have focus, they can't be checked/activated using the keyboard (affinity-focus-visible-keyboard-fill.gif, affinity-focus-visible-keyboard-matte.gif)

- in some dialogs (with radio buttons), it seems that keyboard focus never gets to the Apply/Cancel buttons (affinity-focus-visible-keyboard-fill.gif, affinity-focus-visible-keyboard-matte.gif)

there are likely more variations along the same line. this also applies to other Affinity products (Affinity Designer etc) that use the same UI widgets.

Thanks @patrick_h_lauke

I've logged these with our developers to investigate further as you state there may be more instances of this occurring within the UI.

All these issues seem to still be present in v2. Is it possible to move this topic to the v2 bugs, or should I cross-post/replicate it there?

There's no need to do anything.

Serif is aware of the logged bugs that still exist in V2.
