The behavior described seems to create a confusing and verbose label for the Remove image control, I'm marking it as access-S3. If the toolbar is coming from the grouping name, this is expected, but the alt text would probably be mo appropriate to be used as aria-describedby or aria-description/title attribute (ARIA reference just in case).

If you're working on this bug and need help debugging and brainstorming ideas - the Firefox Accessibility team would be happy to help. Feel free to reach out via #accessibility on Matrix/Slack

"Toolbar added button remove image" can still be heard after NVDA reads the Alt text from an image, but the "Toolbar Alt Text added button from before reading the Alt text is no longer heard.

Is this intended ? is this what Bug 1916667 fixed ?

The toolbar content is read because the toolbar is a part of the annotation.
In the accessibility tree we've:

Figure
....
image
toolbar
> button
> button

In VO the toolbar is announced.
:ayeddi, should the toolbar be announced ? if no how to avoid that ?
