NVDA repeats input label text

[nvaccessAuto]

Reported by stevefaulkner on 2011-07-05 15:14
when an author codes a HTML label element in certain ways NVDA announces the label text twice when an input receives focus.

I have provided test cases and results here:

For Firefox, this is partially due to MozillaBug:669312.

There are two other problems here:

1. We're reading labels in the focus ancestry. Mick, is there a reason for this? I can't think of one. It might be because we're just relying on presentationType and we want labels to be content if they are leaf nodes. In that case, we should check childCount or make a special case in isPresentableFocusAncestor.
2. In IE, labels seem to have a role of text instead of label. If we can fix this, (1) will apply to IE as well.

MozillaBug:682790 is now the relevant bug. The other was closed as a duplicate.

Partial fix in ca39a43. Label elements are no longer spoken in both IE and Firefox when focus moves to a control inside of them. Remaining issue of Firefox showing duplicated label in accName must be fixed in Gecko.

It sounds as if MozillaBug:682790 has been resolved in Firefox 10. When opening the above link, http://www.html5accessibility.com/tests/form-labels.html, I believe everything works as expected, but am not exactly clear on what is the original issue is. No labels double speak when I navigate the example site.

What about tests 5 and 6? You need to go back to header then cursor down, or it only says it once. Firefox 55 32 bit windows 7 64 pro Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

@Brian1Gaff is this still an issue for you? When I use the arrow keys to the edit fields or use tab navigation to all of athe examples on this site, I am not getting double speaking. Using NVDA latest Alpha with Chrome and Firefox.

I am testing with NVDA 2019.1 on Firefox 66.0.2. and Chrome 73. Every example is pronounced only once as it should be.

Tested as follows:

1. In Browse mode, navigate the tests from top to bottom of the website and back fro bottom to the top with arrow keys: labels reported only once
2. In browse mode navigate the tests from top to bottom and back to top with tab and shift+tab: NVDA reports the labels only once.
3. In focus mode navigate the tests from top to bottom and then back from bottom to top with tab and shift+tab: NVDA reports labels only once.

Thus, closing as works for me.
