• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Reduced test case

Given the following markup:

  <input id="checkbox-bar" name="foo" type="checkbox" value="bar">
  <label for="checkbox-bar">
    Foo
  </label>

  <br>

  <input id="checkbox-baz" name="foo" type="checkbox" value="baz">
  <label for="checkbox-baz">
    Bar
  </label>

Focus either checkbox.

This behaviour is also present in Safari Technology Preview release 70.

Expected behaviour:

Voiceover should announce the label once, e.g.

"Foo, unticked, checkbox"

Actual behaviour:

Voiceover announces the label twice, e.g.

"Foo, Foo, unticked, checkbox"

[chris fleizach]

for some reason the <label> is being converted to a AXStaticText and it's reporting it has a child of its own (the actual static text item)

I can no longer reproduce this in Safari 14.0.2 (15610.3.7.1.10, 15610) on macOS 10.15.7 (19H114) – I think this has been fixed at some point.

this has been reintroduced in latest osx/safari for all form elements
