Title:
The status of notifications in "Recent Activity" is not accessible to
screen readers
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Currently, the only way to tell if a notification is unread in the Recent
Activity module on the homepage is whether it's in bold text or not. Screen
readers cannot detect this so people using them cannot tell if a message has
been read.
Two options to deal with this are
- Consistently add alt text to message icons which contain the message status
"Unread message", "Read system message", etc
- Add hidden "Unread" or "Read" text to the message title and consistently
give the icons null alt text
Alternatively, the text itself could be changed from "New message ..."
to "Message" when the message is read - it seems strange that read
messages are still titled "New".
Affects latest master (using Orca 3.4.2)
(WCAG Level A)
