The description for the link field is redundant in the aural interface for voiceover

Created on 26 June 2025, 11 days ago

Problem/Motivation

If you get the link field announced in voiceover (see and hear in redundant_link_desc.mp4) the description gets announced twice if the url field is in focus and once again when the link text field is in focus.

tested on macos sequoia 15.5

Steps to reproduce

  • add the link field to a content type
  • visit that node edit form and activate voiceover in case you have a mac

Proposed resolution

announce the description only once for the URL field - the behavior firefox and edge show with voiceover as well for example

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Introduced terminology

API changes

Data model changes
