A11y: Bubbles (e.g. PageInfo, bookmark, extensions) Don't Work with Down Arrows, Just Tab

Project Member Reported by robliao@chromium.org, Jun 27 2018

Issue description

It is not possible to activate the omnibox chips with the down arrow like a regular menu.

Justin/Rob, who should do this work?

I believe this is a dupe of 846639.

Per https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=857102

This was recently fixed and the fix was merged to M68. Closing this as a dupe but if you still experience the issue after the next Beta release, please let us know.
markchang@, is this a complaint about the omnibox dropdown suggestions or the adjacent accoutrements such as the "secure badge"?  As far as I know, you've never been able to get there with arrow keys.  If it's the latter, then this bug is not a dup, though it may be WontFix.
This bug as indicated in the title is specifically about the adjacent accoutrements.
Status: Untriaged (was: Duplicate)
Ok, yeah, that other bug was about navigating through the suggestion list.
[omnibox triage]

Now that I understand the bug fully, I'm inclined to WontFix this.  People (or at least me) use the arrow keys to adjust the cursor in the omnibox.  Sometimes I press or hold the left arrow key for example to get to the beginning.  I wouldn't want to the focus to switch from the omnibox simply because I pressed left one too many times.

If you think otherwise, please explain, or get an accessibility guru to say something authoritative. :-)
lpalmaro: Can you comment on using the down arrow from the omnibox chip? Thanks!

Sorry, I was not clear.

1. navigate to ssl-enabled site
2. click on "Secure" chip
3. see https://screenshot.googleplex.com/V0qzNO4bDHS
4. press down-arrow to navigate through items in the dropdown

expected: navigates to all clickable targets
observed: nothing happens

lpalmaro@ this is not a regression, but an existing behavior in 67 stable today. I am going to proactively mark this as P2 and consider it non-blocking for M69 release. Updated a11y tracking doc to reflect that.

Please let me know if you feel differently.

Page Info on desktop behaves like a bubble rather than a menu, iirc. Similar bubbles on desktop are keyboard navigable using TAB rather than up/down arrow.

I think this would be handled by the default bubble view behavior, no?
Components: UI>Browser>Bubbles>PageInfo
[Adding PageInfo component because from #11 this sounds like a keyboard-navigation concern with the Page Info bubble rather than an issue with keyboard-navigation in the omnibox itself.]

Please triage as non-blocking M69, but fast follow fix.

[omnibox triage]
Removing omnibox component, as this is the pageinfo bubble (a different component).  Marking as untriaged so they pick it up.

By the way, I think tab-navigation is standard on bubbles, as comment 12 indicates.  If you want a broader fix that to make arrow keys work in bubbles, I think they'd want 	lpalmaro@'s input.

Removing Needs-Feedback label temporarily, as otherwise I'm not sure they'd pick this up in their triage process.
Components: -UI>Browser>Omnibox
removing omnibox component as in #15, and sending a mail to ping. Leaving untriaged for the PageInfo component.
Components: -UI>Browser>Bubbles>PageInfo UI>Browser>Bubbles
This doesn't seem like a PageInfo specific issue, but instead as a general Bubble View issue (checked Extensions, bookmark, and permission bubbles and they all behave the same), I can't imagine having PageInfo acting different from other bubbles would be good for Accessibility (or UX in general).

Setting the component to UI>Browser>Bubbles instead of PageInfo, so the decision can be made (as #15 mentions, with lpalmaro@'s input), as whether bubbles need to change behavior to be navigable with the arrow keys. My first thought is this would be problematic since some bubbles (e.g. bookmarks) have dropdown lists in them, but I'm not an expert in this area.
