Accessibility: Removing aria-label
set to empty string in all switches and an issue with announcing labels when moving using arrow keys
#18111
Labels
Describe the bug
Reported issue details: The enabled checkbox has an empty aria-label (e. g. explicitly set to an empty string) and an aria-labelledby attribute. No idea whether that is the reason for the behavior, but the label is not announced in Firefox when moving using the arrow keys in browse mode, but is announced when moving using the tab key in whatever mode. This behavior unfortunately applies to all checkboxes throughout the admin interface.
The tester was using NVDA Alpha 26228 tool.
Testing device details:
Note: I have investigated this issue on MacbookPro, Chrome browser and ChromeVox extension and while I was able to see the empty
aria-label
I was not able to replicate the label not being announced when moving using the arrow keys This is because I don't know how the tester was using the arrow keys to navigate (it could be specific to NVDA tool I'm not able to use on MacbookPro, I will get more info upon meeting with the tester and will update this issue).Version
19.0.0
Expected behavior
The labels for switches should be announced in Firefox when moving using the arrow keys.
Actual behavior
The labels for switches are not announced in Firefox when moving using the arrow keys.
