Steps to reproduce

  1. Make sure one of the admin themes is turned on (either Claro or Seven), but that the other admin theme is uninstalled.
  2. Install the other admin theme of your choosing. There will be a success and/or warning message that the theme was installed
  3. Inspecting the status HTML, you should find it coded as: <div role="contentinfo" aria-label="Status message" class="messages messages--status">...<div>. This is true for both success and warning.

    4. Ways to Fix

    Since the footer element maps to a contentinfo, using this role for statuses doesn't make sense and should be changed to <div role="status" aria-label="Status message" class="messages messages--status">...<div>, or <div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" aria-label="Status message" class="messages messages--status">...<div> if there are concerns about backwards compatibility.

    Choosing the Claro theme since that's a top priority, but this does occur in the Seven admin theme as well.
