Bug 162137 – AX: voiceover does not read contents of input role="spinbutton"

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

<input type="text" role="spinbutton" value="5"/> the value doesn't get read when you tap on it in voiceover mode.
<input type=text" value="5"/> does.

Go to https://jqueryui.com/spinner/ and you see that the input can get focus, but the number in the input doesn't get read when you focus to it in voiceover mode.

From

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_WAI-ARIA_range_attributes_for_range_widgets_such_as_progressbar,_scrollbar,_slider,_and_spinbutton#Example_1:_A_spinbutton

A widget with role spinbutton lets a user enter a value from within a given range. The spinbutton shows the current value and presents controls to allow the user to increase and decrease the value.

The maximum and minimum values are represented by aria-valuemax, aria-valuemin, and the current value by aria-valuenow.
-------------

If you used aria-valuenow it looks like this works. the value is being returned in this case

It is using aria-valuenow and it doesn't read the value in voiceover.

<input id="spinner" name="spinner" value="5.06" aria-valuenow="5.06" autocomplete="off" class="ui-spinner-input" role="spinbutton">
