Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Try to display the title of an abbreviation like <abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr> without a mouse or screen reader. Keyboard only users can't focus on it. Not sure that mobile users can either What is the expected behavior? I'd be able to see a World Health Organization tool-tip like you do on hover. What went wrong? It isn't visible Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 66.0.3359.181 Channel: n/a OS Version: OS X 10.13.4 Flash Version: See https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2013/01/using-the-html-title-attribute-updated/

Unable to reproduce the issue on mac 10.13.3 and mac 10.13.5 using chrome latest stable #67.0.3396.87 and latest canary #69.0.3457.0. Attached a screen cast for reference. Following are the steps followed to reproduce the issue. ------------ 1. Hovered on the "WHO" link using the trackpad. 2. Observed that World Health Organization tool-tip is seen as expected. mike@ - Could you please check the issue on latest stable #67.0.3396.87 by creating a new profile without any apps and extensions and please let us know if the issue still persist or not. Thanks...!!

Clearing Mac as this isn't a Mac issue. Adding Blink > Accessibility

@tedchoc, do you have any opinion? I don't think this is unique to "abbr", it's just how the "title" attribute works. This is not a high priority as an accessibility bug, as screen readers do expose the text of the title attribute, and on desktop a Chrome extension could also provide a workaround. Maybe the biggest gap I see is actually mobile - the average user of Chrome on Android. Quite a few sites use the "title" attribute for a tool tip or extra description. Maybe we should expose it when you long-press on something. Otherwise, this is an example of mobile browsers falling short when trying to access a site designed for a desktop browser.

I don't have a strong opinion for this. I don't know how often that is used and what it's impact would be. Maybe someone on the webplatform team would be a better candidate to decide of this is something we should be supporting better. With that said, we have contextual search that shows you relevant information when you tap on things in the page. I wonder if we could extend that to pull out abbr or titles of the elements you tap on. (+donnd@) +rbyers for the platform perspective |
