Global search: search bar no longer receiving keyboard focus automatically

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Our users involved in data entry have noticed that the search bar under Global search used to receive keyboard focus automatically as soon as Global search is opened, but as of this week that's no longer happening. It now requires an additional click in the search bar, or ~11 "tab" moves to get the keyboard focus in the search bar. This slows down data entry for users utilising barcode scanners and/or assistive technologies.

Has anyone noticed this, and do you have any pointers to the solution?.. I'm following up with our Microsoft partner but thought I'd ask here as well.

    The problem seems to have been resolved.

    I'm not sure what behind-the-scenes activity might have led to the resolution but the search bar / keyboard focus behaviour is back to normal now.

    Hi Eugene,

    This problem does not occur in my environment. After opening the global search, the focus is inside the search box.

    I would recommend you raise a support ticket.
