Environment Details:

Application Name: Visual Studio Code Services
URL: https://code.visualstudio.com/
Windows Version: Win11
Chrome Version: Version 103.0.5060.134 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Screen reader: NVDA (version 2022.1), JAWS (version 2022.2112.24 ILM)

Repro Steps:

1. Please do not close this bug. This bug should only be closed by TCS, C+AI Accessibility tester after verification of the fix
2. Launch the application Url : https://code.visualstudio.com/
3. Tab Navigate to "Docs" link.
4. Tab Navigate to "Tutorial" link under "Python" in left Navigation and hit enter
5. Turn on the screen reader
6. Tab Navigate to "Edit" beside "Getting Started with Python in VS Code" heading
7. Observe that Screen reader is announcing both "link" and "button" when focus is on "Edit" .Role of "Edit" is given as both link and button

Actual:

Role of "Edit" is given as both link and button, Screen reader is announcing both "link" and "button" when focus is on "Edit" control on using tab key
Note:

1. Issue is observed throughout the application
2. Issue is Observed with JAWS screen reader as well

Expected:

Role of "Edit" should be only given as "link" button role should be removed. On activating "Edit" control the URL is getting changed so the role should only be "link"

User Impact:

Screen reader users will find it difficult to know the role if Screen reader is announcing both "link" and "button" when focus is on "Edit" control
