I'm just checking as to whether I should report an issue. I'm attempting to complete a sorting interaction whilst using keyboard + JAWS 2024. I can complete the interaction using my keyboard, but I do not get any programmatic feedback for the screen reader. For example, the incorrect "shake" is not communicated. It is silence. There is not indication to a screen reader that the user has just dropped an item into the correct buck. Just silence again. And the new item is not announced.
I'm either telling you what you already know, or I'm reporting that the sorting interaction is not accessible for screen reader users.
It's unusable if it doesn't give any status messages.
Appreciate the quick response and the link to that page Karl. I was trying to get the info from the other page that discusses WCAG, but couldn't really find what I needed.
