I have a nearby app with an information window turned on, and I can't navigate past the i button in the top right corner. Am I missing a way around it? Here is my app: https://cooit.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/nearby/index.html?appid=77755a855e2740d6bf8e92f72a1e4aaf&...

@LondonWalker, if you press Escape, you'll be able to move past it (the legend will also close). I think the legend is acting like a blocked window and preventing the ability to just tab through? I'm not an accessibility expert by any means, but I don't think this violates the "no keyboard trap" guideline.

Thanks, this is super helpful! While it is navigable, the focus is not on the legend and is instead on the information icon, so the focus order is broken, and it's a little confusing about what you need to do to get out.

@LondonWalker @NicoleJohnson is correct that legend is causing an issue and trapping the focus.  This is a a bug in the app where focus is trapped in the expandable window if the legend is set to be open when the app loads.

We'll work on a fix for this for the next release of ArcGIS Online. In the meantime you can workaround the issue by unchecking the "Open legend when app loads" option during app configuration.
