508 Compliance Issue - Visual Focus Disappears

"Visual focus disappears between user interface elements. As an example within the “Add comment type” screen, after entering data in the “Label” required field and pressing Tab, user is navigated to a dynamically appearing “Edit” links. Pressing the Tab key to navigate away from the “Edit” link causes the focus to disappear. However, pressing the Tab key once more brings the focus to the next field, “Description” text box.

The defect exists in IE 11 and Google Chrome Version 55.0.2883.87 m.

Expected result: An indication of focus is expected to be visually present at all times so that a user can discern their location within the application.

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

Notes:
• This defect also exists elsewhere within the application.
• This is a medium severity defect as the user needs to only press Tab once to bring focus back into the following field and can discern their location."
