Accessibility issues....button name is not announced on a revisit.
Hi again Russ!
I tested this with the most up-to-date version of JAWS and had the same result as you: the visited button state is not read by the screen reader.
We have a current bug we are working on where States aren't read by a screen reader.
A current workaround suggested is to, instead of a button or a text box, add a shape with a solid fill at 100% transparency and add the text on the shape. The screen reader successfully reads the alt text of shapes.
Also, I have linked you to the bug so that you will receive notice of any updates.
I hope the workaround helps you in the meantime, and please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
Hi Andrea. To clarify this bug only happens with JAWS correct? You said yesterday it worked with NVDA.
Thanks,
Russ
