Checkbox grouping label not read when previous focus is on a checkbox input or button

[devangelito]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy and test the sample html below

    <input type="button" value="Test Button" /><br /><br />

    <!-- ADDING BELOW WILL ENABLE GROUPING TO BE READ -->
    <!-- <input type="text" /><br /><br /> -->

    <label id="lblPizzaShape">Pizza shape:</label><br />
    <fieldset role="group" aria-label="lblPizzaShape">
      <input id="circle" type="checkbox" value="circle">
      <label for="circle">Circle</label>
      <br />
      <input id="square" type="checkbox" value="square">
      <label for="square">Square</label>
    </fieldset>
    <br />

    <!-- ADDING BELOW WILL ENABLE GROUPING TO BE READ -->
    <!-- <input type="text" /><br /><br /> -->

    <label id="lblPizzaToppings">Pizza toppings:</label><br />
    <fieldset role="group" aria-labelledby="lblPizzaToppings">
      <input id="cheese" type="checkbox" value="cheese">
      <label for="cheese">Cheese</label>
      <br />
      <input id="ham" type="checkbox" value="ham">
      <label for="ham">Ham</label>
    </fieldset><br />

    <!-- ADDING BELOW WILL ENABLE GROUPING TO BE READ -->
    <!-- <input type="text" /><br /><br /> -->

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

2. Tab through the checkbox inputs within the fieldset

Expected behavior:

Group label for each checkbox group (e.g., Pizza shape or Pizza toppings) is read

Actual behavior:

Group labels are not read

System configuration:

NVDA version: 2017.2
NVDA Installed or portable: Portable

Other information:
Windows 10 Pro
Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)

I've also seen these similar cases which I'm not sure if it makes this a duplicate, but the behavior is very much alike:

• NVDA not reading grouping label in Chrome #7205
• NVDA fails to read aria-labeledby label associated with a radio group in browse mode #6979
• Fieldsets that contain a checkbox grouping does not read the legend at times #3321

If the previous focus is on a text input, group labels are read properly.

Other questions:

Does the issue still occur after restarting your PC? Yes

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA?

2017.1 (same result)

You're correct; this is the same underlying issue as #3321. Thanks for searching! I understand why it's difficult to be certain.

Closing as duplicate.
