MacOS VoiceOver reads the wrong accessible name #193

Open jessegreenberg opened 4 months ago

From https://github.com/phetsims/scenery/issues/1606. Sometimes, when elements are hidden/displayed, VoiceOver reads the wrong accessible name. We found a workaround by forcing a reflow of the elements like this:

Unfortunately, I was not able to isolate the problem or observe it outside of a PhET sim. See https://github.com/phetsims/scenery/issues/1606#issuecomment-1947342380 for notes and what I tried. But I would like to submit a bug report to Apple now just in case.

A bug report has been submitted, even though I wasn't able to isolate the problem.

If time allows, we can continue to search for a minimal reproducible context where this happens. IF we find it, we can submit a new report.
