@ABuffEr

Description

@ABuffEr

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to, for example, to this wiki page;
  2. search "Language family" in the page;
  3. go down and observe the link: its text content is "Indo-European", the html elements title attribute "Indo-European languages".

Actual behavior:

Braille shows the html elements title attribute and text content, so:
Indo-European languages Indo-European
with cursor (correctly) at starting position of link text content.

Expected behavior:

Braille should show only link text content, as usual.
