Hi, thanks for reporting this issue. The interface in which we handle addresses in the compose window has changed. Now, after an address is typed an the user presses ENTER or TAB, the address gets converted into a standalone component and moved outside the input field. This was done in order to enable writing multiple addresses without creating a separated row for each address, and to solve various other problems when handling multiple addresses, the necessity to move chunks of address from the To to the CC field, and so on. When you SHIFT+TAB to focus on the "To" input field, the accessibility label should read "To input field with one address" or if you have more it will give you the exact number. All those addresses are listed to the left of the input field, which you can focus on by using the left arrow key. Focusing on the address pill should read its address, and by pressing ENTER you can edit that address. We definitely need to improve the accessibility here, first of all by removing that redundant "...Edit Field" at the end of everything, and then by providing guiding instructions for screen readers, since the overall approach and workflow changed. ###Proposed changes - Focusing on an input field should read "Empty To input field". - Focusing on an input field with written addresses should read "To input field with 3 address, use left arrow key to focus on them". - Focusing on an address pill should read "email@example.com address pill. Press Enter to edit or Delete to remove". What do you think?
