There should be a mechanism to control how long the message is displayed to the user. If anything, it should be longer. [#3529190]

Problem/Motivation

When you click on the flag or unflag link, a text appears for about 3 seconds. This text should last a little longer and be user-controllable.
Criterion 1.3.2 (Meaningful Sequence) and Criterion 4.1.3 (Status Messages): Dynamic changes in content must be appropriately announced; this is not met.

Steps to reproduce

Click on the flag or unflag link.

Proposed resolution

Make the message last longer and add a button so the user can close this text or message with JS.

Remaining tasks

Patch and review.

User interface changes

The message lasts longer and a button has been added so the user can close it.

Added additional field link duration that applies when ajax link type is selected, so the user has actual control on the duration of animation. That value then overrides the animation duration via JS. Updated test to now cover the added button (X). Needs review.

Hi, I've verified and tested MR!168 and applied the patch successfully on 5.0.x-dev version. The changes are working as expected.
Following steps I followed:

Go to Appearance.
Enable the Flag module.
Configure a flag (for example, for nodes) and enable AJAX links.
Create or view content that displays a Flag / Unflag link.
Click the Flag / Unflag link.
Observe the status/confirmation message behavior.

Testing Result: After applying the patch, the status/confirmation message for Flag is working as expected.The message stays visible for the configured duration, and the close (X) button allows the user to dismiss it manually.
Attaching the video for reference.
Thanks
