Epic #89595: Improve accessibility of backend
Tooltips in Backend need to become accessible
0%
Description
The title attribute is not sufficient for an accessible tooltip. There are screen readers that do not announce the title attribute and also users of mobile devices have not chance to see the tooltip.
Equally, the aria-label attribute is not sufficient, as it does not show a tooltip and is only announced for screen reader users.
Adding both attributes is also not optimal, as some assistive technologies announce the same twice, and touch device users still cannot access the title attribute.
We need a new, globally available tooltip option, that is accessible and can be used in cases where currently title attributes or other alternatives are used.
When the new solution is in place, all usages of the title attribute and the aria-label attribute should be checked and there should be a decision whether it should be changed to the tooltip solution or not.

What needs to be done to have accessible tooltips?
Updated by Michael Telgkamp over 4 years ago
When having a look at the WAI-ARIA practices it shows they are still "work in progresss" https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/#tooltip
But there is other (more informative) information on accessible tooltips on the following two pages:
https://inclusive-components.design/tooltips-toggletips/
https://www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/accessible-tooltips/
The most important things are:
- do not rely on the title attribute, that is not sufficient (and not usable on mobile devices at all)
- use aria-describedby to identify the tooltip for the element the tooltip is attached to
- use role="tooltip" for the tooltip itself
- tooltips should appear on focus as well as on hover

Hi!
This is probably part of the current efforts in accessibility. Can this be merged into a more recent ticket or better to keep this open and on your radar?
