Summary

This PR addresses issue #1409 by clarifying one paragraph in the Dismissible section of Understanding SC 1.4.13 (Content on Hover or Focus).

The previous wording could be read as internally inconsistent because it focused on trigger size without clearly explaining the placement tradeoff.

What changed

  • Updated one paragraph in understanding/21/content-on-hover-or-focus.html
  • Clarified why the second method alone may be appropriate in some large-trigger scenarios

Before

For most triggers of relatively small size, it is desirable for both methods to be implemented. If the trigger is large, noticing the additional content may be of concern if it appears away from the trigger. In those cases, only the second method may be appropriate.

After

For most triggers, it is desirable for both methods to be implemented. If the trigger is large, positioning the additional content so it does not obscure the trigger may place that content further from the user's current pointer location, making it harder to notice. In those cases, only the second method may be appropriate.

Why

  • Better explains the implementation tradeoff

Refs #1409

Refine the paragraph after the two dismissible methods to explain the large-trigger scenario more clearly and avoid ambiguous phrasing about content appearing away from the trigger.
