Screen reader issues with Voiceover

    On MacOS, when running VoiceOver on Safari, the screen reader says invalid input on all required fields. It’s misleading as the input is currently blank and confusing. I recorded a short video showing what the screen reader is saying on screen (audio is difficult to hear, but the screen reader text is all displayed on screen).

    It behaves as expected with Chrome & VoiceOver, however many VoiceOver users go with Safari as their browser.

    The recent OS update has caused a new set of VoiceOver issues which is impacting several plugins.

    Hi @anphira

    Thanks for this.

    That’s a weird one because we don’t set aria-invalid until the form is submitted and field validation occurs so it should not be reporting those fields as “invalid data”.

    We’ll certainly look into this and get it corrected if it is not a bug with Safari, but as far as I can tell we are currently setting ARIA tags appropriately.

    Much appreciate your feedback!

    Mark
