Public bug reported:
The new Bootstrap theme means that tabs (eg. on the Profile page) are
rather different to previous versions of Mahara. In theory the included
bootstrap-accessibility library should take care of adding ARIA features
to them, but unfortunately it seems to be overcomplicating matters to
the point of confusion. There are various issues with the JAWS screen
reader, which may or may not be related to this library ... need to
investigate why these issues are happening.
1. Tabs can't be changed without going into "forms" mode (pressing Enter with a
tab selected does nothing)
2. All tabs are described as "tab selected"
3. When selecting a tab with the keyboard (without a screen reader), tabindex
attributes are added to the tab and its content, messing up the tab order of
the page
Affects latest master
