• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

test case

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the test case in Epiphany and enable caret navigation (F7)
2. Launch the accessible-event listener in a terminal
3. Up/Down arrow to each line then Right/Left arrow within the line

Expected results: When the caret moves to and within each line, caret-moved events would be seen.

Actual results: When the caret moves to and within the heading child of the div with role="button", there are no caret moved events.

Impact: When an Orca user navigates to that line and arrows within it, Orca is not able to present the new caret location and remains silent.

The problem here is that the text exposed for that button belongs to a child of the ARIA button, which should not be exposing children according to WAI-ARIA User Implementation guide, section 5.1.1:

As the original issue has been detected in yelp-xsl and already fixed as an authoring issue, I'm resolving this one now as a wontfix
