Hi. This issue can be replicated in the Telerik dojo for the jQuery Slider.
When tabbing to the decrease and increase buttons and pressing space to invoke the action, nothing happens. I can see the graphical affect of the button being pushed but there is no change in value of the slider.
Tabbing onto the central slider value and moving left and right using the arrow keys works as expected.
Here's what I reckon should happen when using the keyboard with the slider: When the user tabs to the increase/decrease button to give it focus, a press of the spacebar activates the button. The slider value should change accordingly and the focus should stay on the button.
Strangely, when NVDA is active, tabbing to the increase or decrease buttons and pressing spacebar key works the first time. It then shifts focus to the slider itself and I have to start using the left and right arrows instead.
Any thoughts on how to work around this as the built in events are not triggered?
