Button reset on table focus

Something’s not working the way it seems like it should.

When a user …
Changes focus state to a table element

I saw …
Buttons reset

But I expected …
Buttons play state not to reset

Changing focus state to a table appears to automatically reset a button’s play state. This should not happen. It means animation play states are dependent on focus trapping, which is very poor UX.

Could someone please raise this up the chain to be rectified please. Thank you.

One year later.
Still not fixed.

Hi Mike,

As this is a request to change an intended behavior and not a request to fix an unintended bug I will pass this on to the development team, but please direct any follow ups to support@desmos.com

Thanks Jay.

I don’t suppose you could speak at all to this intended behaviour? It’s been asked before by many people and I’ve yet to hear a possible use-case.

I’ll also be emailing the development team but if you happen to know of any reason for this it would help.

I believe Eli provided our rationale in a different thread

I understand if the reason is no sufficient for you, but please take this up through more official channels (I.e. off of this community forum).
