1390348 - JAWS Screenreader highlight is larger than it needs to be for header/title text

Status: NEW

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P3)

Description

[u554753]

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to http://www.wikipedia.org/ with JAWS screenreader active
2. Press tab repeatedly until a section is highlighted (ie: Commons, Wikivoyage, etc)
3. Press right arrow key until green highlight is over the word of the title (ie: Commons, Wikivoyage, etc)

Expected Result:
Highlight is over the word only.

Actual Result:
Highlight is over the word and the line of words underneath it. It disappears when the right arrow key is navigated to the third word in the group. (ie: if the section is MediaWiki, the highlight fixes itself on '&')

This happens regardless of whether or not e10s is enabled.

Asa, can you visually verify this, or not as the case might be, please? This is obviously something I can't do. :-)

I'm struggling to reproduce as the steps aren't clear to me.

Reporter, I can complete step one and two but I'm not seeing a green highlight at all on step three. Shift + right arrow does selection for me but right arrow does not. Am I missing a step here or misunderstanding the directions?
