Description

Summary

Follow-up from #5631

Unstyled buttons appear to not meet the target height standards described in WCAG 2.5.8.

WCAG 2.5.8 requires a minimum touch target of 24px x 24px, however, the height of the button is only 15 pixels tall with the default settings and font sizes (see screenshot below). The unstyled button variant does not have any built-in margin or padding to increase touch target size.

Tasks

  • Assess if the button variant meet accessibility standards
  • If it does not pass WCAG 2.5.8, we should increase the size of the touch target for this button style
