Re: [orca-list] [Bug 726166] Orca does not read title-attributes of abbr-tags

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
When reading a webpage and orca is about to present a link it reads its 
text and then anounces the control role. That's the information this is 
a link. This is brailled also.
I think expected behaviour is to anounce these abbreviations the same 
way. And info about getting the title is trickier because these are not 
focusable so can't be queried using where am I feature of orca. If there 
is indeed a way on how to present this the abbr title property should be 
mapped into a control description.

Hopefully I haven't forgotten about possible breaking edge cases.


Greetings

Peter
