Good day all,
this is doing my head in and I can't understand how I may be doing it wrong. The problem is I have a number of drop down menus on a form. The users can tab into each field and they can use the keyboard to type in text in the text fields. However, they can't use the keyboard (arrow keys) to select an option in drop down menus. They can hit space or enter to display the available options, but the arrow keys do nothing. The users have to click on one of the options with the mouse.
I use ClearCollect to populate the drop down menus at the App OnStart, for example:
ClearCollect(reportedSource,
{
Text: "Web"
});
I thought maybe that was the reason and so I moved my items in the drop down menu's Items formula like so ["Web"] but no joy.
(there are other options in the ddl, I just added one here to illustrate)
UPDATE: This seems to happen after you select "AllowEmptySelection". If you leave "AllowEmptySelection" as false, it works fine, but if you change to true, it seems that it breaks keyboard accessibility.
UPDATE: I've double checked. The aforementioned behaviour happens as soon as you enable "AllowEmptySelection". While using the form, you can use the arrow keys to select an option in the drop down menu AFTER you've first clicked (with the mouse) on one of the available options. This seems to enable the arrow keys to go up and down to the other options. I feel this is a bug (?) but I don't know how to submit it for consideration. Unless someone knows of a way to overcome this issue.
Anyone has any pointers for me?
Thank you.
