Audit finding

Rotation selection button create unpredictable result

User impact

The issue creates an accessibility barrier in the component.

Remediation plan

Refactor the interaction so it uses correct semantics and states and behaves predictably.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Media Manager and select an image.

2. Activate the rotation control with the pointer.

3. Repeat using the keyboard.

4. Inspect the resulting image presentation.

5. Observe an unpredictable result or insufficient feedback.

Expected result

Rotation of an asset would occur in a predictable and logical way based on initial asset state. Suggested fix: Add an apply button and let users select an angle first and then apply it. Alternatively make the buttons buttons instead of radio buttons, so that users have the ability to skip options they don’t want to apply. Also make clear that the buttons add the degrees to the current rotation. Consider displaying somewhere what the combined rotation is.

Actual result

When using the Angle Buttons when editing a graphic or photo, when using the keyboard, the rotation is automatically applied using the arrow keys to interact with the (invisible radio buttons. This results in the keyboard focusing the 0 degree button, when using the arrow key to go to 90, the image automatically flips 90 degrees. Going to the next button does not flip the image 180 degrees from the initial setting, but 180 degrees from the now 90 degree image. Going to 270 degrees then rotates an additional 270 degrees.
