Actually there's a big difference between display: none; and those other ways of hiding characters. display: none; practically erases it to the point that it doesn't exist nowhere (well except text browsers that no-one notable uses). You can't select it, if you C&P it won't be copied, and screen readers whom won't render the styles you replace the text with won't see the text and will misread the title. Those other methods don't. They only visually hide it for people only looking at the formatted text. You can select it, if you copy the plaintext the full title text is present, and they will leave screen readers alone (though one specific mac one won't like overflow+height:0; position+clip:rect is the best way to do it) so blind and deaf readers will still hear the correct titles instead of it being mangled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
