When an element gets focus, it must not be entirely hidden by other content (e.g. sticky headers).

What it means

When an element gets focus, it must not be entirely hidden by other content (e.g. sticky headers).

How to meet it

Ensure sticky bars/overlays don't fully cover the focused element.

How AccessScan checks this

This criterion needs a rendered page or human judgement (for example colour contrast, focus visibility, or media review), so it’s part of manual testing and our upcoming deep scan rather than the free static scan.
