1625868 - Items in definition lists are counted wrong.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P1)

Description

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

STR:

1. Open this test case.
2. Read through it with VoiceOver.
   • Expected: When reaching the definition list, a list of 3 items (3 dt elements) is announced, like in Safari.
   • Actual: Definition list of 6 items is announced.

Note that if you read through this with Safari, it says "Definition list of 3 items", but then when reading each item, it reads "item 1 of 6" etc., like it does with Firefox. So the only difference is that we count all dt and dd elements, or all direct children, and not just the dt elements count.

Note Chromium does it even worse, it counts the two paragraphs in the last dd element as two items, so the list has seven items.

Attachment: Bug 1625868 - Use AXDescription/List for dl/dd. r?morgan

It seems that VoiceOver expects AXDescriptionList and AXDescription
as subroles in order to report the correct number of items in a dl.
