Apr 1, 2025April 2025 – Sage/carbon: Delivered a targeted accessibility improvement for Safari by fixing a button focus issue on click. Implemented a handleClick that triggers internalRef?.focus() before the original click logic, ensuring the button receives focus and enhancing keyboard/navigation UX in Safari. The change is small in scope, with a single, well-documented commit, and preserves existing behavior. Business value: improves accessibility compliance and user experience for Safari users, reducing accessibility risk and potential support issues. Technical impact: demonstrates DOM focus management, JavaScript/TypeScript, and accessibility best practices within the Sage/carbon codebase.
