Problem/Motivation

When @cboyden's team did an assistive tech walkthrough of Media Library for #2834729: [META] Roadmap to stabilize Media Library using NVDA on Firefox, we discovered that, when a screenreader user is uploading new media items through the media library modal, if they expand the "additional selected media" collapsed fieldset, they are not given any announcement or response letting them know what happened and what is now available.

This interaction can be viewed on the video recording of the September 29, 2019 walkthrough of Media Library at around minutes 29.

Proposed resolution

It would be helpful if they are given an announcement after expanding this fieldset, such as "# additional items selected"

This one is surprising. We should check if it's a details element, or a custom dislosure.

As far as I know, it is a standard details element.

It's worth mentioning that the immediate impact of this, if it's Media Library-specific, is significantly mitigated by #3034242: Hide "Save and insert" and "Additional selected media" from users by default, which hides this area from users by default. (Not with CSS or some other accessibility-breaking method; it simply removes it from the UI unless it's specifically configured to show up.)

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

Version: 11.x-dev » main

Drupal core is now using the main branch as the primary development branch. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted to the main branch.
