Hello,

Thank you for the provided details.

The team is aware of this problem and they have released a statement about it in the following GitHub issue:

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/6997#issuecomment-1260590112 

To keep it simple, the filter element isn't focusable and the keyboard cannot be used to navigate to it. Instead, when the header cell is focused you can use a key combination to open the filter menu.

That is why the team has decided to use the aria-hidden attribute and exclude it from the accessibility tree.

Best Regards,
Georgi Denchev

Hi,

The screenshot indicates that you might be using Kendo UI and not KendoReact. Please provide more information on the exact product and version that you are using, so we can forward this to the correct team.
