Can no longer set note color — plus not accessible

    The palette popup at the bottom of the note only operates on hover, but there’s a gap between the palette icon and the popup controls, so when you try to move the mouse to select a color, you move off of the icon and the color selector vanishes.

    In addition to not working at all, even if it were working, accessibility standards require that there be a way to do this with the keyboard. Having something that only works on mouse hover means it’s only usable by people able to use mice.

    Hi Tyler,

    Could you post a screenshot of what you see there with the gap? With that, please include information such as version of your WP and browser/OS.

    Re accessibility; sounds like you know a lot about this, I’d be happy to look at a pull request if you are able to make such changes. https://github.com/jeroenSormani/wp-dashboard-notes

    Cheers,

    I see the “wpdn-color-palette” has a height of 18px, and as shown above, it looks like there was supposed to be more box below the color icons. If I change the style to increase the height to 24px, it corrects the problem for me.

    Hi Tyler,

    It looks like for some reason your box-sizing is set to ‘border-box’ instead of the default browser value that is causing this. The height should already be 24px with the padding included.

    Cheers,

    I have identified another plugin with an overly broad styling rule which was causing this problem, and raised a ticket with them. I still think it would be a good idea to have your stylesheet set this property the way you need it to be for your specific elements.
