[Sourcing][Accessibility] Redundant text is read out on accessing side navigation list using keyboard

[I543348]

Is this a bug, enhancement, or feature request?

bug

Briefly describe your proposal.

Some labels cannot be perceived efficitenly by disabled user because thye contain redundant role information For eg: the entries of tree structure inside side nav are labelled with "tree item". This is not required and confuses the user.

This is reported by Deutsche telekom customer

Which versions of Angular and Fundamental Library for Angular are affected? (If this is a feature request, use current version.)

Angular 15 core / platform: 0.39.1-rc-5

If this is a bug, please provide steps for reproducing it.

This is replicable on https://sap.github.io/fundamental-ngx/#/core/side-navigation

Please provide relevant source code if applicable.

Is there anything else we should know?

What I see, The Tree Item XXXX, should be ok, as this is navigation menu. Please see: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/entity/sap.ui.webc.fiori.SideNavigation/sample/sap.ui.webc.fiori.sample.SideNavigation

The only difference is in UI5 it says XXX Tree Item , in fundamentals it Tree Item XXX.

Not sure what is right but the information is there and unless we understand the order, here I recommend to reach out to Accessibility team if this is a issue, if the order matters. .

Hi @fkolar Since its a flat list , "tree item" is redundant here and confuses the disabled users (blind users etc)

@I543348 Vertical Navigation is the successor of this Side Nav. Can you validate that issue there?

[I543348]

Thanks @droshev , I evaluated "vertical navigation" and found that some issue exists there as well - https://github.com/SAP/fundamental-ngx/issues/9608

[droshev]

As the vertical nav is the successor we will be removing this component soon
