136687 2014-09-09 16:49:48 -0700 AX: VoiceOver in Safari on Mac OS misidentifies text fields as search fields 2022-02-12 23:37:16 -0800 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit Accessibility 528+ (Nightly build) Mac OS X 10.9 RESOLVED INVALID InRadar P4 Normal --- 1 kmunck webkit-unassigned bfulgham cfleizach commit-queue darin jcraig webkit-bug-importer oldest_to_newest 1034206 0 kmunck 2014-09-09 16:49:48 -0700 When VoiceOver encounters an input field with a "search" keyword in one of the attributes, it believes the field in question is a search field. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch VoiceOver with CMD-F5 and open Safari. 2. Load the attached file. 3. Tab to the "First Name" field and listen to the feedback from VoiceOver. Expected Results: VoiceOver should say "first name text field". Actual Results: VoiceOver says "first name search text field". 1034207 1 237872 kmunck 2014-09-09 16:50:38 -0700 Created attachment 237872 Sample html file illustrating the problem. 1034210 2 commit-queue 2014-09-09 16:51:37 -0700 Attachment 237872 did not pass style-queue: Total errors found: 0 in 0 files If any of these errors are false positives, please file a bug against check-webkit-style. 1034316 3 darin 2014-09-10 08:38:13 -0700 This problem is an intentional strategy. See the function AccessibilityNodeObject::isSearchField. So we won’t take the code out just because of this test case. VoceOver needs to treat fields as search fields when that’s appropriate, not just when the web engine is using its special search field styling and support. If we wanted to change the heuristic here about which fields are treated as search fields, we’d need some evidence that it would help on more websites than it would hurt on. 1034734 4 webkit-bug-importer 2014-09-11 15:29:37 -0700 <rdar://problem/18312423> 237872 2014-09-09 16:50:38 -0700 2014-09-10 08:35:43 -0700 Sample html file illustrating the problem. textfield_search.html text/html 614 kmunck PCFET0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+CjxodG1sPgo8aGVhZD4KPHRpdGxlPlRlc3Rpbmcgc2VhcmNoIGZpZWxk cyBidWcgd2l0aCBWb2ljZU92ZXI8L3RpdGxlPgo8L2hlYWQ+Cjxib2R5Pgo8cD5UaGlzIGlzIGEg dGlueSBmb3JtIHdoZXJlIG9uZSBvZiB0aGUgaW5wdXQgZmllbGQgYXR0cmlidXRlcywgRUcgTkFN RSBpbiB0aGlzIGNzZSwgd2lsbCBjb250YWluIHRoZSAic2VhcmNoIiBzdHJpbmcuIFRoaXMgbWFr ZXMgVm9pY2VPdmVyIGJlbGlldmUgdGhhdCB0aGUgZmllbGQgaW4gcXVlc3Rpb24gaXMgYSBzZWFy Y2ggdGV4dCBmaWVsZC48L3A+Cgo8Zm9ybSBhY3Rpb249IiIgbWV0aG9kPSJwb3N0IiBuYW1lPSJ0 ZXN0Zm9ybSI+CjxpbnB1dCB0eXBlPSJ0ZXh0IiBuYW1lPSJzZWFyY2hfZmlyc3RuYW1lIiBpZD0i Zm5hbWUiPgo8bGFiZWwgZm9yPSJmbmFtZSI+Rmlyc3QgTmFtZTwvbGFiZWw+PGJyPgo8aW5wdXQg dHlwZT0idGV4dCIgbmFtZT0ibGFzdG5hbWUiIGlkPSJsbmFtZSI+CjxsYWJlbCBmb3I9ImxuYW1l Ij5MYXN0IE5hbWU8L2xhYmVsPjxicj4KPGlucHV0IHR5cGU9InN1Ym1pdCIgdmFsdWU9IkRvIG5v dCBzdWJtaXQgdGhpcyEiPgo8L2Zvcm0+Cgo8L2JvZHk+CjwvaHRtbD4KCgo=
