Hello Anna,

Thank you for the additional info.

The proper approach, in that case, would be to apply the undocumented and unavailable in the typings useButtonTag: true option on all Buttons in the ToolBar. This way they will be accessible. Using the role attribute will lead to the issue observed.

We are currently fixing the discussed useButtonTag issue in question. It should be soon available in both the API reference and the typings definitions.

Hi Anna,

Here is the Dojo sample concerning point 6: https://dojo.telerik.com/OCihIFux/3

Please, excuse me for missing that in my previous post.

Hi Anna,

Thank you for the extensive description of the issues found in the Toolbar. Concerning each of the points in your posts:

1. Your remark is perfectly valid. We will document the use of useButtonTag, will add it to the API reference and to the typing definitions so that it can be properly used. Also, we will prepare a documentation article on why using that option is important for the accessibility compliance of the widget.

2. That is correct. I have included the following issue to our backlog: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/5391

3. That is also a bug. Here is the respective GitHub item: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/5392

4. From the screenshot sent, I can tell that you are testing with the Default Kendo SASS team. If that is the case, attached you will find a screenshot demonstrating the focused state on the Overflow button. The focused state styling is present. Nevertheless, I should agree that the visual presence of the state is not obvious.

5. That is also a bug in the Toolbar functionality. Here is the item on that: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/5393

6. Here you will find a small sample using the useButtonTag: true option on the overflown buttons. If you review the rendered HTML you will notice that role="button" is not assigned to none of those buttons. May I ask you to modify that sample, so it replicates the issue observed at your end and send it back to me?

Also, as a small token of gratitude for helping us improve the Toolbar widget, I have updated your Telerik points.
