Enhanced keyboarding accessibility
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
Several enhancements were made to improve accessibility. While developing an application for visually impaired users who use the keyboard (rather than mouse) to navigate the screen, it was found that certain input elements did not correctly receive focus under IE8 when tabbing. One issue was that when an element is focused and the parent element is scrollable, the focused element was not being displayed if it was beyond the scroll area. Additionally, some elements were not receiving visual focus with WAI ruleset enabled upon focus. To aid in keyboard navigation, if the WAI ruleset is used, an element receiving focus will also be made visible by scrolling to its position. When the accessibility ruleset is enabled, all elements will now properly receive visual focus. In order to enhance the accessibility of dropdowns in Audit windows, Filter panel width has been increased in Accessibility Mode to display all the dropdowns in the window at once without requiring use of the scroll bar. Furthermore, Accessibility mode for Audit windows has been updated to include the use of the spacebar to toggle settings in the checkboxes.

Check added for property with blank value
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
If a property is left blank in the SelectTierOverride section, updating that section showed the message "'pega' is undefined" and a JavaScript error was generated. This was traced to the filePath control included in the section, which along with refreshing the section submitted filepath data to the server: if messages are set on page using Page-Set-Messages/Property-Set-Messages, then it will try to include pega_ui_textarea js file and fail. To correct this, a check has been added for blank properties.

Accessibility enhanced for keyboard access to accordion tabs
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
With a design structure that has nested items, keyboard navigation was not shifting focus to the correct elements for nested items. Clicking with a mouse activated the nested item, then allowing use of the arrow keys to navigate, and tab could be used to move to the next item along with shift-tab to go back to the tab group. All items in the top Layout Group Accordion now correctly take focus and can be activated with keyboard arrow keys. Tabbing from the active accordion takes the focus into the content of the active element within the accordion.

Space no longer reserved in the header for hidden custom icons
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
After upgrading, custom icons hidden based on visibility conditions were presenting as empty occupied space in the perform screen flow harness instead of allowing the other icons to consolidate as expected. This was caused by the cell of the harness header icon remaining in place even though the icon was not being populated, and has been corrected.

Error messages from CPM displaying correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When CPM Intent has Page Messages, the horizontal scroll bar and the User interface fields overlapped with a default bar at the bottom of the screen. This was caused by resizing the HARNESS_CONTENT div when the error table was present and has been corrected.

Start times for repeating grids check for appropriate auto-refresh
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
If the date/time field was set only to time, entering a start time in a repeating grid caused an auto-refresh that would lose the entered time. To prevent this, a new API was added to verify whether the opened element is from grid, and if it is from grid then there is no need to auto submit.
