JAWS does not narrate label of element who has an iframe child with focusable textbox

[tronguye]

Summary

1. Go to any HTML document with an iframe containing a labelled textbox, such as this codepen.
2. Focus on the element directly parent to the iframe.
3. The expectation is the focus on the parent narrates the parent's label
   • Instead, JAWS is silent

Expected result

JAWS narrates the label of the focused element

Actual result

JAWS is silent

The parent is a div and a div must not be labeled (https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#generic). So I see no bug here

@JAWS-test I've updated the codepen to add role='region' to the div. There still is no narration when I would expect it to narrate a region label

[JAWS-test]

The problem has nothing to do with the iframe and the textbox.

The problem occurs with all landmark regions: when they receive focus, JAWS outputs either the previously focused element (if the region is empty) or the region's text content. This is indeed a bug.

However, regions should not receive keyboard focus because they are not controls. JAWS automatically outputs the region's label upon entering the region (e.g., TAB on an item in the region).
