1967034 - VoiceOver does not expose aria-grabbed

Status: ASSIGNED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Morgan Reschenberg [:morgan]]

STR:

1. Open accessibility inspector
2. Load `data:text/html,<button aria-grabbed="true">Reorder me </button>
3. Focus the button with the a11y inspector

Expected:
AXGrabbed: YES

Actual:
AXGrabbed doesn't appear in attribute list

Per the spec this should be exposed to AXGrabbed. It doesn't look like VoiceOver speaks this attribute in Safari, so we may want to verify with our contacts at apple that this is still the correct mapping.
Other tests seem to say this is unsupported with VO in both safari and fx

Note that aria-grabbed was deprecated without a replacement. That's not to suggest we shouldn't support it, but that does impact its priority.

Looking into this. Since there'e still no replacement, would resolving this involve just removing uses of aria-grabbed?

It looks like we still have a bit of support for this in Firefox, so I think we're okay to implement this as usual.
Implementing it as usual also means when we go to remove or replace this attribute in the future, we'll maintain mac support :)
Thanks for asking !
