A <figure>'s aria-label and description is not spoken when it has a child element with aria-hidden="true" #14514
Description
Steps to reproduce:
Given the following html:
<body>
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<figure aria-label="Label for figure" aria-description="A Description">
<p aria-hidden="true">I'm paragraph text</p>
</figure>
</body>
NVDA will not read the label or description for the figure element. This appears to be due to the child <p> having aria-hidden="true". When the aria-hidden attribute is removed NVDA will read the figure's label and description as expected.
Also, changing the <figure> to a <div> with a role="figure" reads as expected, so the following will read the label and description while properly ignoring the child <p>:
<body>
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<div aria-role="figure" aria-label="Label for figure" aria-description="A Description">
<p aria-hidden="true">I'm paragraph text</p>
</div>
</body>
Actual behavior:
The <figure> label and description attributes are not read when there is a child element that has aria-hidden="true"
Expected behavior:
NVDA should read the label and description attributes and ignore the hidden child elements using the <figure> element.
