"User-selected high contrast setting is overridden by the application. As an example, within the user homepage of the Drupal (Internal) application, while high contrast settings are enabled, the “Vertical Orientation” and “Search” buttons and the “Subscribe to” link graphic are no longer visible.

This defect was identified in IE 11.

Expected result: Applications are expected to adopt the user selected operating system color and contrast selections. In this instance, “Vertical Orientation” and “Search” buttons and the “Subscribe to” link graphic are expected to remain visible.

Reference: Section 508, Part 1194.21, Paragraph (g).

Notes:
• This defect also exists elsewhere within the application.

Interesting.. Do you have any suggestions for changing the HTML to better support Windows High Contrast mode?

Version: 8.3.x-dev » 8.4.x-dev

Drupal 8.3.6 was released on August 2, 2017 and is the final full bugfix release for the Drupal 8.3.x series. Drupal 8.3.x will not receive any further development aside from critical and security fixes. Sites should prepare to update to 8.4.0 on October 4, 2017. (Drupal 8.4.0-alpha1 is available for testing.)

Bug reports should be targeted against the 8.4.x-dev branch from now on, and new development or disruptive changes should be targeted against the 8.5.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal 8 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 release cycle.

It's not exactly clear form the original issue summary, but most likely this is about when a Windows High Contrast theme is selected.

We are already forming a plan around this, so I'll close this issue in favour of #2894237: Make core themes more robust in Windows High-Contrast mode.

I'll update that issue to include the 3 icons mentioned here, as examples of known problems.
