ISSUE - Unlabeled image(s) exposed in Welcome to Thorium 3.0 dialogue

Impact: Major

WCAG 2.1 SC 1.1.1 – Non-Text Content

Current Behavior:

When you are in the Welcome to Thorium 3.0 dialogue and you are navigating through the Home, Your Publications, Catalogs, Reading View and Annotations tabs, the image for each area is announced as unlabeled by Voice Over. Just the image on the Home tab is exposed to JAWS and NVDA and is announced as unlabeled.

Example:

Using VoiceOver and focus is in the Welcome to Thorium 3.0 dialogue, from the Home tab press the Tab key to go into the content. Then use VO + Right arrow to navigate the text and when you get to the image, Voice over announces “To get missing image descriptions, open the context menu., Unlabeled image.”

Expected Behavior:

When you are in the Welcome to Thorium 3.0 dialogue and you are navigating through the Home, Your Publications, Catalogs, Reading View and Annotations tabs, the image for each area is ignored by Voice Over. The image for the Home tab is also ignored by JAWS and NVDA, just like all the other images in the dialogue.

Machine Details:

Windows

macOS

Steps to recreate:

  1. Launch screen reader.
  2. Open Thorium.
  3. From the Welcome to Thorium 3.0 dialogue use the VO + right arrow (VoiceOver) or down arrow (JAWS/NVDA) to navigate to the image under the Home tab.
  4. Screen reader announces image as unlabeled.
  5. Just using VoiceOver, press Shift Tab twice to get to Home tab.
  6. Press Down arrow to go to the Your Publications Tab and then press Tab twice to land on the close button.
  7. Use VO + right arrow to get to the image and VoiceOver announces the file name and then unlabeled image.
  8. Repeat this process for the other tabs to hear VoiceOver announce the images as unlabeled.
