Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently the screenreader reads unnecessary info for help button on focus and nothing on hover.

Research

  • The help button is displayed as a OOUI button with an icon but without a label.
  • OOUI buttons without a label or with a hidden one, have no screen reader output.
  • Also titles are not read out by the screen reader I used for testing (NVDA).
  • The help button has its own popup for the title. So this would not help us here anyway.

Event Timeline

Update: Not sure why, but the screen reader is now reading the text of the popup. So we can close this ticket. :)
