HI! 
We're currently in the process of updating our applications to meet WCAG accessibility standards and are reviewing all of them as part of this effort. You may have seen my other post. Per our ESRI solution engineer has recommended that we post all issues in the community forum in addition to opening tickets. We're trying to collaborate and raise awareness of the issues we're seeing in our applications. We want to highlight ones that can be easily resolved by users and which ones fall under ESRI's purview.
 
Issue:
 
I made two post about this particular issue, it was fixed for only certain widgets, but not across different buttons that we find across multiple applications. Currently, we have internally a couple of open tickets tracking this issue that shows up in various places; one in the CSV button and the mother in a calcite button for expand map tools.

Steps to reproduce in app:


  1. open up application 
    1. type in an address, you can use "69 W WASHINGTON ST, CHICAGO, IL"
  2. Wait for results on the left pane until CSV button appears
  3. Run tool, we are use axeDev and it should match above image.

@KellyHutchins  I was working through another application and I notcied that one of the buttons on the search has the same issue as this post. Did you want me to open up a ticket with through Tech Support or is this something you and your team can address through this post? 

steps to reproduce:

https://cookcountyil.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/6ed45e8adcee42cebbf0b300814fb835

1. open app 

2. click on search icon, upper right on the map

run axe dev tools?

That one looks like a Dashboards app. So a new issue to support would be good. You can also ask this question in the Dashboards community.
