We have a consistent problem with scroll views not being accessible. For
example, a scroll view receives focus and is announced by VoiceOver as “empty,
scroll area”. I am not able to enter the scroll area to interact with the child
elements. It reminds me of an iOS component that has isAccessibilityElement set
incorrectly.
We also have a scroll area that includes form elements that are available to
tabbing, but VoiceOver doesn’t announce anything when focus moves from one
element to another.
I’ve looked for information on how to make sure scrollviews are accessible, but
I can’t find anything.
For instance: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsscrollview
Here’s what I would like to know:
Should we apply a label to the scroll area so the user knows what the container
represents? If so, do you use accessibilityLabel or accessibilityHelp?
How can we make sure the user can enter a scroll area and interact with the
child elements? Is this isAccessibilityElement? Accessibility Inspector says
children: empty array, Children in navigation order: empty array, contents:
empty array, and keyboard focused: false.
Thank you
