1639623 - When toggling radio button VO reports wrong state

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

STR:

1. Load data:text/html,<fieldset><legend>Animal</legend><input type="radio" name="animal" value="cat" id="cat"><label for="cat">Cat</label><input type="radio" name="animal" value="dog" id="dog"><label for="dog">Dog</label></fieldset>
2. Move VO cursor to cat radio button
3. Activate radio button with VO+space

Result:
VO says: "check checkbox cat radio button"

Expected:
VO should say "selected, cat radio button"

Two things need to change:

1. We have a custom action description that should go away. It makes us say "check checkbox". Safari and chrome don't have any custom descriptions and neither should we.
2. VO is looking to perform AXPress on the radio button, since it does not find it (we have AXPick instead), it synthesizes a mouse click. This is async, so we don't have an opportunity to get a new checked state from content.
