Open the Accessibility Inspector application on your computer. 2. Open page at https://bcronin2.github.io/toggling-contenteditable/. 3. WITHOUT checking the checkbox on the page, inspect each of the three `contenteditable` areas. 4. Check the checkbox on the page to remove the `contenteditable` and `role` attributes on the elements for each of these areas, and inspect each of the three areas again. ### Expected: The "type" of each area should be updated to reflect the absence of the `contenteditable` and `role` attributes. ### Observed: The "type" of each area remains exactly the same as it was before the attributes were removed. Types when `contenteditable` is true: "presentation" element: text entry area "textbox" element: text field "region" element: region Types with `contenteditable` and roles removed: "presentation" element (but no longer has role): text entry area "textbox" element (but no longer has role): text field "region" element (but no longer has role): region It appears Safari doesn't communicate an update to the type of element it presents to the screen reader when we toggle off `contenteditable` (which it definitely should, as other browsers do). 1758919 1 webkit-bug-importer 2021-05-11 09:09:57 -0700 <rdar://problem/77848452> 1913251 2 spanage 2022-11-17 11:48:48 -0800 This appears to have resolved itself on our side - feel free to close.
