This branch removes the
aria-relevant="additions"
attribute from the screen reader assistant element. This attribute currently prevents assistant text from being announced by screen readers in Firefox (tested using NVDA).It's my understanding that there are few advantage to setting
aria-relevant
unless you want to encourage screen readers to announce more changes (using"all"
to announce content removals). The default value ofaria-relevant
is"additions text"
. Is it necessary to exclude text changes from being announced here?resolves #403
