Description Hogan 2022-08-18 18:18:48 UTC
Description:
I am a quadriplegic and use my voice to navigate the web. On the homepage, there is a search box that allows you to enter terms to search for more detailed information. However, after typing the search term in the box, there is no place to click to return your search results. The only way to activate the search results is by pulling up an on-screen keyboard and pressing enter. From an accessibility standpoint, it would be much easier to have a small magnifying glass, a picture of a question mark, or a button with the word search to return the wanted results.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to return a search result without using the "enter" key on a physical keyboard or an on-screen keyboard. As this requires several extra steps to complete.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Could not return results

Expected Results:
If an input box were present, I could return results by clicking the search key instead of having to pull up the on-screen keyboard.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
This is a very easy issue, I don't know of any other information or any other way I can explain the issue.

> On the homepage,

It is the LibreOffice webpage (https://www.libreoffice.org/)?

Thank you for the report, Hogan.
As LeroyG asked, is this about the main LibreOffice website, libreoffice.org?
If so, the issues has to be reported somewhere else: on the Redmine website (it's used for all things infrastructure). 

https://redmine.documentfoundation.org

I am happy to do that for you if that makes it easier, as it requires you to log in.
