This is because VO
won't read items inside containers that use CSS "Padding: 4px;", or
greater.
Please link to an example which demonstrates this.
http://www.webdevout.net/test?0c&raw is a reduced test case. "Hello
world" is in DIV with padding 4px, but VoiceOver reads it with current
Safari, so you haven't provided enough information to reproduce the problem.
Also, on another note: Voiceover does not obey oral CSS, which is really
frustrating.
WebKit ignores speech and braille CSS as far as I know.
Is it frustrating for VoiceOver users? If so, why?
(The reason I ask is it's generally believed that screen reader users do
not want web authors changing how different elements are pronounced from
what the screen reader is used to. Witness all popular screen readers
ignoring speech CSS.)
Out of interest, is what you're actually trying to do hide content from
screen reader users?
Can someone file these bugs, plese, as I have no experiance filing bugs.
The first item might be a bug, if reproducible, but the second item is a
feature request.
The hard bit about filing software tickets is providing the information
required to understand the issue, and - in the case of bugs - the
information required to reproduce the problem. See:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
If you can communicate those things to a person on this list, then you
can communicate them via a bug tracker. It's purely a matter of becoming
familiar with any local conventions and the bug tracker for the software
in question. For WebKit, that information can be found at:
http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html
http://webkit.org/quality/bugwriting.html
In essence a bug tracker ticket is little more than a well-written email
with some additional form fields.
Conversely, if you can't communicate those things to a person on this
list, then they wouldn't be able to file an effective ticket for you on
your behalf.
