Accessibility Report - Safari (and other) Edit Fields On Web Pages

[Gordan Radić]

Hi! Due to recent bug experienced in Safari browser which was confirmed by some members here I've composed a message for Apple Accessibility. I urge everyone on this list to copy the message bellow as new mail and send it to Apple. Here it goes: Address: accessibil...@apple.com Subject: Voice Over Bug In Edit Fields On Web Pages Beginning of message: Hello! Since iOS 10.1 upgrade Voice Over users are experiencing accessibility issues while navigating through text entered in edit fields on web pages. It seems Voice Over can't read or move by characters from the beginning of text forward and it stucks after second character. When going backwards from the end of the text everything seem to work correctly. It is also confirmed this issue occures in Safari for iOS as well as Firefox and Chrome browsers. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. With Voice Over on open any web page with the edit field; 2. Enter the phrase "today is a beautiful day" in the field; 3. Double tap to get to the beginning of the text entered; 4. Switch the Rotor to the Characters option; 5. Try to flick down for reading forward character by character; In some cases, depending on web page you're currently browsing you won't hear anything while in other cases You won't get further than first twocharacters typed. For example, search field on www.amazon.com is completely silent while search field on www.bookshare.org reads first two characters. This is a very serious issue for Voice Over users. Browsing the web is everybodys daily routine including blind or partially sighted users and fixing this in the next iOS 10 update is crucial for Voice Over users to be able to use their iDevices completely. Thanks and take care!
