💡 What: Replaced .onTapGesture with a semantic Button wrapper using .buttonStyle(.plain) inside HoverableGlassRowModifier when an onTap closure is provided.
🎯 Why: .onTapGesture on interactive list elements is ignored by assistive technologies (like VoiceOver) and prevents keyboard navigation via tab focus, creating invisible "Ghost Tab Stops".
📸 Before/After: Visuals remain unchanged, but interactive rows can now be tabbed and selected.
♿ Accessibility: Interactive rows (like chords and sequences) now fully support keyboard focus and VoiceOver navigability.

Walkthrough

The change replaces gesture-based row activation with a plain-styled Button when an onTap handler exists. It also documents the keyboard focus and VoiceOver accessibility issue and the recommended row structure.

Profile rows may no longer drag reliably after becoming buttons, potentially triggering activation instead of starting a drag. This should be resolved before merge.

SwiftUI Button onDrag interaction button action drag macOS official documentation

💡 Result:

On macOS, applying the.onDrag modifier directly to a SwiftUI Button or to the label content inside a Button often results in a gesture conflict [1][2]. This conflict typically manifests as the drag interaction taking precedence, preventing the Button's primary action (click) from triggering, or vice versa [1][3]. Official documentation indicates that the.onDrag(:) and.onDrag(:preview:) modifiers are designed to activate a view as a source for drag-and-drop operations [4][5]. While these modifiers provide a standard way to implement dragging, they can interfere with other interactive elements like buttons when applied to the same view hierarchy [6][7]. Key technical insights for macOS development: - Gesture Conflict: On macOS, the drag gesture and click interaction often compete for the same input events [2][3]. Developers frequently report that adding.onDrag to a view inside a List or a Button prevents the expected selection or activation behavior [1][8]. - Workarounds: - Conditional Modifiers: Some developers use conditional logic to enable/disable the.onDrag modifier based on an edit mode or specific user state, ensuring it is only active when dragging is intended [6]. - Use of Transferable: Apple recommends using the newer.draggable(:) modifier with types conforming to the Transferable protocol for a more robust drag-and-drop experience, which may offer better integration than the older.onDrag/NSItemProvider approach [4][5][9]. - View Hierarchy: If you need both interaction types, ensure that the drag modifier is not placed on the Button itself, but potentially on a surrounding container or a specifically designated drag handle, although this may not resolve all platform-specific event handling behaviors [7]. For robust implementation, evaluate if the.draggable(:) modifier (introduced to support Transferable types) provides better behavior for your specific macOS use case compared to the older.onDrag modifier [4][5].

Keep profile dragging outside the Button.

ProfileSidebarViews.swift applies .onDrag to the view returned by hoverableGlassRow, which is a Button when onTap is provided. macOS must arbitrate the drag and button action on the same hit-test surface, so dragging may fail or trigger onTap. Keep the drag surface outside the Button, or add a dedicated drag handle.
