This button is in browse mode at the top when using Chromium browsers. I think something is not correct here, the button can reached only in focus mode when trying this in Firefox.

The button reports as having a width and height of 0, which NVDA treats as invisible. This is not just Firefox a11y: the Javascript clientWidth and clientHeight properties also report 0.

Ok then this is probably also visually hidden right?

@fernando-jose-silva could you please open a bug for Gmail on www.crbug.com and post the link here so we can keep track of it?
Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't understand when opening the link, it opened a page to open tickets for Google Chrome, but we would have a complaint with it develops the Gmail pageEnviado do meu iPhoneEm 7 de mai. de 2023, à(s) 14:39, Adriani90 ***@***.***> escreveu: Ok then this is probably also visually hidden right? @fernando-jose-silva could you please open a bug for Gmail on www.crbug.com and post the link here so we can keep track of it?

@fernando-jose-silva did you report this to google meanwhile?

[fernando-jose-silva]

I remember that I made the request to Google, however, due to my fault, I forgot to put it in this ticket, and this has been a long time ago, that I no longer have the email response to Louie's request, and that they would check.
After that I haven't tested it but to see if the problem still exists.
As soon as I have time, I will test to see if the problem still occurs.

This is now also reproducible in Chromium browsers, not only firefox.
@Qchristensen could you please confirm if this basic html view button is visible at all from a sighted perspective? NVDA can focus it only in focus mode but it has width and hiht of 0 so this should actually not be visible at all.

Related to #8070.

I'm blind, so I don't know if this button is visible on the screen.
