Hello @zagmax ,

The on-screen keyboard is a feature of JAWS and we cannot control how it interacts with the components. A physical keyboard moves the focus and sets the state correctly.

Kind regards,

Hi @Valkanister ,

The on-screen keyboard in the recording is not a JAWS feature but from Windows itself, and was put there only to have a visual display what is being pressed and what result it brings.

While using the regular (physical) keyboard the actual effect is the same - styles are not applied.
Just to clarify, issue is not related to focus, but to the active style display (in this example the additional border around the button)

Hello @SAP/ui5-webcomponents-topic-b
The button is not triggering its Active state when triggered by an on-screen keyboard.
Please check if this is a valid interaction scenario.

Kind regards,
