Summary AX: aside with aria-labelledby ignores role=presentation

Reported 2015-12-01 05:32:04 PST
Created attachment 266353 [details] Code example When an aside has a role of presentation, its accessibilityRole is AXWebArea. If aria-labelledby is added with a reference to an element the aside's role is AXGroup. This causes it to show up in the Web Rotor as “text in referenced element” + “complementary”. Example in attached file.

Takeshi Kurosawa pointed me at http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityNodeObject.cpp#L2002. Seems this is deliberate. Do authors often mistakingly put role=presentation on asides?

This is expected behavior for anything with presentation
