Bug 122564 – AX: VoiceOver double speaks all items in <li> nodes

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Accessibility

[chris fleizach]

A recent change to improve Windows support added list item roles to the group of items that should return the visible text underneath it.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117892

This has the unfortunate affect of making VoiceOver on the Mac start double-speaking anything inside of a <li>

I think the safest and best fix is to not expose this behavior for the Mac for now.

However, I think there's still a good debate to be had whether role="listitem" should behave like this (as opposed to <li>)
