Description Ugi K. 2017-10-12 14:15:31 PDT 
Description: 
If aria-modal attribute is set on a container element, none of the form labels (implicit or explicit) are read by VO

Sample Code:
https://codepen.io/wizzyfx/pen/eGrOKr

Steps:
1- Activate Voiceover
2- Open sample code in Safari, ( Modal dialog with aria-modal attribute set to true, and a form element inside)
3- Navigate to Form element (Checkbox, Text Input, Radio etc) 
4- Observe the speech output

Expected:
When focused using Tab or Arrow Key navigation, the form fields are correctly associated with their labels and read accordingly.

Actual:
When focused using Tab or Arrow Key navigation, the form fields are read as generic fields, without any label.
