Focus Zone, moving focus stops working upwards if hidden attribute is set to true of an element in the focus flow

[1951FDG]

Moving focus stops working upwards if hidden attribute is set to true of an element in the focus flow

To reproduce:

I have button that I hide when it is clicked

Start moving focus downwards till button is reached, click that button, click handler will execute button.hidden = true;
moving focus downwards if further elements are present below the now hidden button works
moving focus upwards from where the button was previously displayed no longer works

So setting an element to hidden in the chain, disrupts the focus flow upwards starting from that element

Hi!

Thanks for taking the time to report this, do you mind creating adding a reproduction of the issue on codesandbox.io or stackblitz.com?

Hi!

Please use same fiddle as #258

To reproduce, click the "submit" button,

• left arrow key to move focus to elements before the hidden button (will not work !)
• use right arrow key to move focus to elements after the hidden button (will work)

Thanks for reporting! We believe this is something that may have also been an issue in primer/view_components that was resolved by @TylerJDev. Tyler, does that sound familiar? If so, would you be willing to take a look at upstreaming that work into primer/behaviors as well?

Yup, this does sound similar to the issue that we fixed in PVC. I'll take a look to see if we can implement the same fix here.
