1931302 - accessibility state issue for role switch with Voiceover

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[kantoche]

Attachment: VoiceOver announcement in legend panel

Steps to reproduce:

Using MacOS sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93)

• Go to https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/switch/examples/switch-checkbox/
• Activate VoiceOver
• Tab to the first switch component example ("Reduced motion")
• Activate the switch with Enter or Space key

Actual results:

VoiceOver announces "Reduced motion", i.e. the accessible name of the component

Expected results:

VoiceOver should announce "activé" (I'm in a french version), i.e. the new state of the component.

It works fine with Safari and Chrome.

Works fine on iPadOS 17.6.1 with Firefox 132.1 (47104)

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Disability Access APIs' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Confirmed locally, thanks for the report. Looks like we're missing a state changed event or just reporting it incorrectly.

FWIW this is broken in Safari on desktop, but works well in Chrome so I'm using the latter as my working example

Based on testing from Jamie's linked bug above, this appears fixed. Closing WFM :)
