Bug 169085 – AX: Header elements are read twice by VoiceOver

• Status: NEW
• Component: Accessibility

[sj]

The header elements are being read twice by VoiceOver as “Header Title Heading” for the text in the first span element and “Header Title Heading” again for text in the second span element. 

DOM looks something like this: 

<div role="heading">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<span>Header</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span>Title</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

The problem is that VoiceOver says the same thing twice as “Header Title Heading” for “header” text and “Header Title Heading” again for “title” text.
