2021916 - Detailed view: High and low is not conveyed to the screenreader

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, defect)

Description

[Natalie Stroud [:nstroud]]

Prerequisites

To display weather forecast, enable the following prefs:

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.system.enabled
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.system.weatherForecast.enabled
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.system.showWeather
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.weather.display === "detailed"

STR:

1. Turn on NVDA
2. Open Nightly
3. Ensure that the weather widget is in the detailed view
4. Using the TAB key, move focus to the weather widget
5. Using the down arrow key, navigate through the weather information under the city

Actual:

Visually, there is an up arrow followed by a temperature as well as a down arrow with a temperature. When NVDA reaches this information, it does not announce anything for either arrow - just the temperatures.

Expected:

When NVDA reaches the up arrow, it should say 'High'. For the down arrow, it should say 'Low'
