wordpress apparently fails at accessibility in version 3.3.

For those who are tech savvy, *do not* upgrade to version 3.3 of wordpress if you value your sanity.
This goes for those who maintain blogs for others.
wordpress 3.3, has redesigned their dashboard, among other screens and these changes toss accessibility, straight out the window. James and myself are actively looking for fixes, etc. to resolve the broken, but for now stick with version 3.2X and far away from version 3.3 for the time being.
a forum topic exists over herethat we started, that topic, then directs youover herebut doesn’t address the concerns raised in the original forum topic.

  1. The site looks wonderful at first glance, but just try to do anything requiring a pull down menu. For example, click tools. Others may “see” the submenus, such as import, but not the screen reader. Wish I had seen this post before I installed 3.3.

      See the comment previous to yours.
      A patch is in the works to address intermittant issues present.
      We swore it was an upgrade vs. new install issue, but new installs are not pulling down the pop out menu’s either.
      There’s not seing the “has pop out menu” that indicates a menu would pop out, so aren’t treating it as such.
      It’s kinda off pissing.
