Description Hyongsop Kim 2020-11-08 17:44:54 PST

Hello.

My name is Hyongsop Kim from Korea and VoiceOver user.

I want to report VoiceOver bug regarding aria-current attribute with script.

The aria-current property is a property that tells the screen reader which of the element is selected. 

By the way, once I doubletap A object and A object has aria-current set to true with DOM not refreshed, VoiceOvdr can't catch changed aria-current attribute.

You can test this issue with the sample page.

And also I attached the demonstration bug reporting video for your understanding.

Regarding this issue, please watch the video and fix the issue.
Sample page: https://khsbory.github.io/video%20player%20with%20aria-live%20script.html
Video demonstration: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aj9xs5XCa0zwmK5e946pjkKzGJeQJg?e=LJdLSZ
 

Thank you.

The fix for this issue was needed outside the WebKit project, therefore this is being resolved as 'Moved'.

This should now be fixed in shipping software.
