The dynamic text changes are announced multiple times or not announced at all in the Button with JAWS
Summary
The dynamic text changes are announced multiple times in the button with JAWS
The reason behind that is a workaround we’ve done for JAWS with which we overcompensate the missing announcements leading to redundant announcements.
The real issue is that the dynamic text changes (label changes) for a button aren’t always announced by JWAS as observed via the following snippet and native HTML:
The same behavior isn’t reproducible with NVDA or VoiceOver on mac. The dynamic text changes are always announced there.
Example:
• https://jsfiddle.net/6f2pqhLr/
Workflow:
Steps to reproduce:
- Start JAWS
- Press the button -> text change gets announced
- Press the button again -> text change doesn’t get announced
It should be added: 4. Press the button -> text change gets announced 5. Press the button again -> text change doesn’t get announced 6. Press the button -> text change gets announced 7. Press the button again -> text change doesn’t get announced ...
This means that the original value is not output again, but the new value, also when the display is repeated.
without aria-labelledby there is no output of the update by JAWS and NVDA at all
