nvaccess
NVDA repeats button button twice when on youtube.
Steps to reproduce:
Go to youtube.com on either the latest version of firefox or microsoft edge and press b until you hear guide button button, keep pressing b and you'll hear what I mean.
Actual behavior:
NVDA says button button on both browsers.
Expected behavior:
NVDA should just say button, once, the same with the word menu.

I'm just wondering if any NVDA devs have seen this issue? When I've posted before i got help on what I've done wrong and I hope i've made it clear this time what's happening with NVDA.
I spoke to google from BeMyEyes and they told me that it's an NVDA issue as other screen readers don't do this.
I can reproduce this only with links, it seems Google puts role="link" on a with a href atribute which is wrong because it is redundant. NVDA speaks "link link mein Youtube" Removing the role="link" from the with href atribute solves the issue, and NVDA speaks "Link mein Youtube" as expected. So this needs to be fixed by the Youtube team. Here is the code snippet for a single link on Youtube homepage, but this impacts almost all links on Youtube website.

cc: @aleventhal could you please forward this to the Youtube team?
Narator speaks the link double as well. Jaws works as expected, but it has its own heuristics to detect when the role is redundant and ignores the aria role in that case.
