Chrome / TalkBack bug I first reported in 2020, and which was fixed for a time (?) appears to be back. Looking for confirmation before I file yet another one.

A named region with a `tabindex` does not expose its contents. Chrome / TalkBack only announces its accName and role.

I think I have an ugly workaround (“Shawarma” heading).

Test case:
codepen.io/aardrian/pen/Exzyad…

Similar to issue I filed earlier this month, which I limited to APG tab panels.

As expected, the Chromium intake person was unable to reproduce the issue (it may have been kit this time?), so I got 5 people to confirm and added a video:
issues.chromium.org/issues/342…

I really do hate how hard it is just to get a bug to get taken up.

I mean, I had to re-file this one because the original was closed due to not reading instructions:
issues.chromium.org/issues/342…

Anyway, thanks for those who helped.

Good news, everybody!

Fix coming in v128, or 20 Aug 2024 (stable release), for this Chrome / TalkBack bug:

Named regions with `tabindex` hide content from TalkBack

There are two related bugs that I am hopeful it will fix but no idea?

Anyway, file bugs. It’s the only way stuff has a chance to get fixed.
