Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. I created a test case pen: http://codepen.io/jessebeach/pen/vGZqgj 2. Turn on VoiceOver 3. Start in the input box, tab focus to the "Wendell Berry" node. 4. Note that the aural output for the node is "Wendell Berry, group", not, as it should be, "To go in the dark with a light is to know light, group" What is the expected behavior? The aural output when the "Wendell Berry" node is focused should be "To go in the dark with a light is to know light, group" What went wrong? Something changed in OSX between Yosemite and El Capitan. I've attached two screenshots from the Accessibility Inspector for similar nodes across the two OS versions. Note that in Yosemite, accessibilityTitle has an empty string and accessibilityLabel has a value. In El Capitan, accessibilityTitle has a value and accessibilityLabel is empty. Did this work before? Yes In Yosemite Chrome version: 49.0.2623.87 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.11.3 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

It works as expected if you use a widget role like "button". What seems to have changed here is that VoiceOver now ignores the accessible label for objects with a Mac role of AXGroup. I'd highly recommend you use a role other than "group", because this may fail in other screen readers too. It doesn't make sense to have a focusable group. We can probably fix it for the case where the group is focusable, but it's still an author error.

And roles article and menu as well now, too. It was a handy way to provide a curated summary of a group of items. I'll find another hack to produce a summary. Thank you for looking at this. You can close it.

[mac triage] closing per #c4 (but also cc elly for "Something changed in OSX between Yosemite and El Capitan.")

The thing that changed is VoiceOver's handling of focusable groups, I think. |
