1888015 - The list of the Translations settings is missing the length and position information in the TalkBack announcement

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Translations, defect, P3)

Description

[Anna Yeddi [:ayeddi]]

Attachment: TalkBack does not include the heading role list position and the list length

Steps to reproduce

1. Ensure TalkBack is running
2. Navigate to a translatable page and confirm the translation sheet is opened
3. Navigate to and activate the Translation Options button
4. Confirm the Translation Options view is opened within the sheet
5. Using the logical screen reader forward navigation gestures (swiping right with 1 finger), navigate to the first element within the list of options and observe the TalkBack announcements
6. Using the logical screen reader backward navigation gestures (swiping left with 1 finger), navigate back to the heading from the first element within the list of options and observe the TalkBack announcements

Expected behavior

1. The list size and position is announced by TalkBack, i.e. ON, {option label}, Switch, 1 of 6, In list and when navigated back to the heading: {heading text}, Out of list
2. If navigating to the second option in the list and on, the position within the list will be announced, i.e. 2 of 6, then 3 of 6, etc.

Actual behavior

1. The TalkBack only announces that the focus entered/exited the list, i.e. ON, {option label}, Switch, In list and when navigated back to the heading: {heading text}, Out of list
2. If navigating to the second option in the list and on, the position within the list is not announced
   Note: the list of controls is relatively short, thus marking this as access-S4 - but if the list is expected to grow, I'd recommend to treat it as access-S3 because the lack of expectations about the length of the list would have more severe impact, especially on screen reader customers with cognitive difficulties, for neurodiverse users of TalkBack too.

Device information

• Galaxy A54 running Android 13

Attachment: Comparison - OS Settings - TalkBack does include the list position and the list length

For the comparison: the OS Settings menus are lists and the list size and the list position are announced by the TalkBack while navigating to/from the list and within the list items.

But I need to add that in that case, switches are separately focusable with TalkBack thus 2 swipes are needed to navigate past each option - this creates much worse experience for a screen reader user than missing a list size.

Note: Universal Switch works as expected with the Translations panel switches, this bug only affects the screen reader experience.
