Bug 38250 – tooltip on focus

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: SVG

SVG elements with "title" data raise a tooltip in safari onmouseover

Device Independence suggests that all input devices, including keyboard tabbing
should also raise tooltips.

A keyboard user may not have mouse skills, and may not desire or need a screen
reader, a blind person may be demonstrating or requesting info from a sighted
person. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the page, and 
2. mouseover the three examples, 
3. now tab to each example 


Actual Results:  
Only the mouseover raises a tooltip in each case

Expected Results:  
each example should raise a tooltip when tabbed to

I think the site changed in the meantime. Do you know of any other page that shows the problem?
Cheers,

SVG spec leaves display of the title attribute up to the implementor. Current behavior is consistent with HTML.
