Original report: #3023777-28: datetime_range fields have confusing options for date type setting
Might be fixed by #3023777-32: datetime_range fields have confusing options for date type setting, or might be a general bug with other cases. Postponed to be reevaluated after #3023777: datetime_range fields have confusing options for date type setting.
The dynamic change of descriptions for the selected select element option are communicated in a confusing and misleading manner within the aural interface.
In voiceover.mp4 (recorded with MR15387 checked out), first the label of the active option and its corresponding description for the select element are being announced, including the title of the field set (Field storage) and its help text, then the label of the active option and its corresponding description are announced a second time, and finally also the allowed number of value's active option and the chosen value are being announced in one go.
If you then change from the date type Date and time to Date only the description for the Date and time date type is announced another time, plus the element is now announced as dimmed aka disabled which is not true.
At this point the core bug illustrated in jumpy_focus.mp4 kicks in. But you can see in the following that the correct description was only announced for the default option when the dialog modal was opened for the first time, in the following it looks like always the description of the previous choice is being announced.
The question is, is the cause for this misbehavior rooted in Drupal core or VoiceOver - as a first required step it would be important to test the MR in Jaws, NVDA, Orca, and or any other screenreader solution - I am adding the Needs accessibility review tag for that reason, and also to get few more pair of eyes onto that matter.
TBD
