"Legends for certain fields are not announced by JAWS. As an example, within the “Create Basic page” screen, the “Promoted to front page” checkbox is announced by JAWS as “Promoted to front page checkbox not checked” instead of announcing the legend as, “Promotion Options, Promoted to front page checkbox not checked”.
This defect exists in IE11 and Google Chrome Version 55.0.2883.87 m.
Expected results: All legends are expected to be announced by JAWS. In this instance, JAWS is expected to announce the legend, “Promotion Options” as “Promotion Options, Promoted to front page checkbox not checked”.
Reference: Section 508, Part 1194.22, Paragraph (n).
Notes:
• This defect also exists elsewhere within the application.
• This defect exists on a screen that is not accessible via a keyboard. The user is forced to use the mouse to access this screen, which is not acceptable for a JAWS user.
