Modal dialog windows are not announced by screen readers

    • S26-W22/23, S26-W24/25
    • 3

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Enable any screen reader
      2. Navigate, e.g., Data collection -> Hosts
      3. Using Tab navigate to any host name and hit Enter
      4. A screen reader will not announce that the user has opened a dialog window; sometimes, focus moves instantly to the input. Examples attached.

      Problem:
      Since ARIA attributes are present and applied correctly, most probably there is a focus management problem.

      This ** is a level A violation of WCAG 2.4.3 - Focus Order, which has a high level impact on users' accessibility.{}


      Expected:

      When the user activates a modal dialog, the screen reader should announce the dialog name and inform that this is a dialog window, e.g Host, dialog, etc.
