NVDA fails to read aria-labeledby label associated with a radio group in browse mode #6979

@PratikP1

When using "f" or "r" keys to find radio buttons on a page while in browse mode, NVDA does not read the associated label. At this time I can't say whether this is limited to labels associated by aria-labeledby and other techniques. My current testing example is only with aria-labeledby. My recollection is that all labels are not read. This occurs in all browsers. Tested with IE 11, FF 52, Edge on insider build 15058 and Chrome Canary.

  • Actual behavior: the label is only read with focus mode enabled.
  • Expected behavior: label should be read the first time the user encounters the radio group similar to what occurs in focus mode.

STR:

  1. Open FF.
  2. press alt+d to go to the addressbar.
  3. Visit the following link: https://ibma.github.io/Va11yS/ARIA/ARIA2_example3.html
  4. Navigate to the radio group by repeatedly pressing "f" or pressing "r."
