+## Aria label for widgets

+You need to enable screen reader for this test.
+
+### Custom label (fake selection)
+
+1. Put the selection in the first line, like so: `Element without classes:^ This is inner text`.
+1. Press `right arrow` key twice, so that widget becomes focused.
+
+**Expected:** Screen reader reads "selected: fancy widget".
+
+### Default label (fake selection)
+
+1. Put the selection in the last line, like so: `This widget doesn't implement path:^ foo`.
+1. Press `right arrow` key twice, so that widget becomes focused.
+
+**Expected:** Screen reader reads "selected: em widget".
+
+### Label in standard selection
+
+1. Put the selection in the first line, like so: `^Element without classes: This is inner text`.
+1. Press `up arrow` key, so that screen reader will read whole line.
+
+	**Expected:** Screen reader reads "Element without classes: Fancy widget region". **However for JAWS**, due it's broken implementation it reads: "Element without classes: Group box Fancy widget, This is inner text".
+
+	The reason for this is:
+	* Treads region role as a group box.
+	* Adds inner text at the end, so it's: "This is inner text".
