265321 2023-11-24 09:42:53 -0800 AX: VoiceOver ignores <title> elements in linked SVGs in the Web Rotor 2026-05-08 13:23:29 -0700 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit Accessibility Safari 17 Mac (Apple Silicon) macOS 13 NEW InRadar P2 Normal --- 1 beeps.grey webkit-unassigned andresg_22 jcraig webkit-bug-importer webkit.org oldest_to_newest 1994683 0 468750 beeps.grey 2023-11-24 09:42:53 -0800 Created attachment 468750 Reduced test cases If an `<svg>` is embedded within a link, the SVG's `<title>` element contributes to what VoiceOver announces, but does *not* contribute to the link text that appears in VoiceOver's Web Rotor. This is the case in the tested versions of Safari and Firefox, but not Chrome, which works as expected. ## Repro steps 1. Open the attached file (svg-title-issue.html) in macOS. 2. Launch VoiceOver. 3. Navigate through the page's content using VoiceOver's controls (typically Ctrl + Opt + left/right arrows). 4. Listen to how each link is announced by VoiceOver. 5. Open the Web Rotor (typically Ctrl + Opt + U) and navigate to the Links section. 6. Observe how the links are displayed within the Rotor. ## Expected results - All of the links on the page are announced as "A red circle with accompanying text" - The Web Rotor displays all of the links as "A red circle with accompanying text" - When the Web Rotor list is navigated, each link is announced as "A red circle with accompanying text" ## Actual results - All of the links on the page are announced as "A red circle with accompanying text" - The Web Rotor displays the first three links as "with accompanying text", only the last link is "A red circle with accompanying text" - When the Web Rotor list is navigated, each link is announced as "A red circle with accompanying text" My expectation would be that the text visually displayed in the Rotor should match what is being announced. ## Other information If the SVG has a `<text>` node instead of `<title>`, this contributes to both the VO announcement and text displayed by the Web Rotor. If the SVG has a `<desc>` node instead of `<title>`, it is not announced by VO nor does it appear in the Web Rotor. ## Tested in - Safari 17.1 - Chrome 119 - Firefox 120 All on macOS 13.6.1. 1994684 1 webkit-bug-importer 2023-11-24 09:43:03 -0800 <rdar://problem/118775157> 1994878 2 468763 beeps.grey 2023-11-27 00:46:56 -0800 Created attachment 468763 Reduced test cases I accidentally uploaded the wrong set of reduced test cases.
