Can not configure image widget (and others) in widget accessability mode

[mark-k]

When you get into the accessability mode of the widget screen you can add an image to a side bar, but you don't get any UI to set the title and select an image. Still the same problem after if you try to edit the widget after you have added it.

Seems to be a problem in 5.8 RC2 as well.

Same problem with the custom HTML, gallery, audio and video widgets.

Could you provide a bit more detail? I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say the accessibility mode of the widget screen. Is this a browser feature? If so, which browser and version are you using?

Also, you mentioned that the issue also happens in 5.8 RC2, but 5.8 completely overhauls the Widgets screen, so it's not clear if you are using the Classic Widgets plugin or not.

With the new widget screen becoming block-based, titles are no longer included when inserting a new widget. Something similar is being explored in ​Gutenberg-32723, but what you are explaining seems like the expected behavior.

access to accessability mode of the widgets screen, from the "normal" one

[mark-k]

Try to add an image widget on that screen

[mark-k]

no ability to set title or select an image

And this is the categories widget at the same mode

Sorry, should have been more explicit from the start.

As for blocks, trying to delay seeing the horror, but as long as 6 million sites are going to disable it I assume that bug reports against the "old" widgets screen are meaningful.

In ticket:52073 the Text widget was corrected, and it seems other widgets needed a (possibly similar) fix.

[sabernhardt]

The patch uses a less specific selector, matching the one in r49973.

(The input is now inside an alignright div as of r49113.)

I just tested 53641.diff and it seems to be working fine. I can see the form to add an image while testing in accessibility mode.

Thanks.

I was able to reproduce the issue and then apply the patch and the issue is resolved. In accessibility mode (using classic widget plugin) the image widget did not allow user to edit the title or add an image because the fields are missing. Applying this patch fixes the issue and the fields are visible in the widget and I was able to both edit title and add media via the keyboard.

Hello,
Just tested 53641.diff: it applies cleanly against trunk and fixes the Media widgets issues currently occurring when using the Classic Widgets Screen’s accessibility mode.

I think this ticket is worth being solved in the next point release.
Marking for commit.
