Recurring issues

ExtJS grid ticket - (button labels, pagination)
QM / book overlays: erm:25470

Core functionality

VisualEditor

High contrast

In Windows high-contrast system settings, the icons of the toolbar are not visible, since they are implemented as black background images:

alternativtext=Menu icons in VisualEditor not visible in black high-contrast mode.|zentriert|mini|750x750px|Menu icons in VisualEditor not visible in black high-contrast mode.

workaround

While using BlueSpice, turn off High Contrast mode and switch to the Color filter setting instead. Here, you also get a hight contrast setting in black, but the Visual Editor toolbar is fully visible: alternativtext=Color filter in Windows 10 settings|zentriert|mini|750x750px|Color filter in Windows 10 settings

Custom css for users in group MediaWiki:Group-Accessibilitygroup.css

The colors can be fully customized for a specific user group in the wiki

Google Chrome high contrast extension

The high contrast extension recommended in the Google Chrome help centerdoes not work in edit mode, but can be used for browsing a BlueSpice wiki page.

Keyboard navigation

workaround

All functionality of VisualEditor can be entered in source editing mode, which is a standard way of editing a wiki page. The save dialog can be activated via keyboard alt+shift+s. Available Shortcut keys can be viewed with Ctrl+/

Note 3.2: Currently there is no easy way to switch to source editing mode, it is important that the drop-down menu for the edit button in the main toolbar is fixed.

Extended functionality

Core functionality

VisualEditor

High contrast

In Windows high-contrast system settings, the icons of the toolbar are not visible, since they are implemented as black background images:

alternativtext=Menu icons in VisualEditor not visible in black high-contrast mode.|zentriert|mini|750x750px|Menu icons in VisualEditor not visible in black high-contrast mode.

workaround

While using BlueSpice, turn off High Contrast mode and switch to the Color filter setting instead. Here, you also get a hight contrast setting in black, but the Visual Editor toolbar is fully visible: alternativtext=Color filter in Windows 10 settings|zentriert|mini|750x750px|Color filter in Windows 10 settings

All functionality of VisualEditor can be entered in source editing mode, which is a standard way of editing a wiki page. The save dialog can be activated via keyboard alt+shift+s. Available Shortcut keys can be viewed with Ctrl+/

Note 3.2: Currently there is no easy way to switch to source editing mode, it is important that the drop-down menu for the edit button in the main toolbar is fixed.
