508 Compliance Issue - Certain user interface elements are not announced correctly by JAWS

Certain user interface elements are not announced correctly by JAWS. As an example within the main screen, the “Manage”, “My Workbench”, “Content”, “Structure”, “Appearance”, “Extend”, “Configuration,” “My Bookmarks”, “People”, “Reports”, “Help” and “Vertical Orientation” buttons are not announced correctly by JAWS. When the “Manage” button is accessed JAWS announces “Tool bar items Admin menu toggle button”, instead on announcing correctly as “Tool bar items Manage menu toggle button”.

This defect exists in IE 11 and in Google Chrome v55.0.2883.87 m only for the “Manage” button.

Expected result: All user interface elements are expected to be announced correctly by JAWS. In this instance JAWS is expected to announce e.g., “Tool bar items Manage menu toggle button” respectively.

Reference: Section 508, Part 1194.21, Paragraph (d).

Notes:
• This defect also exists elsewhere within the application.
