v1.9.133 View Plunker

With Silktide Accessibility Checker, the Screen Reader mode, the No accessible text was found "Option" accessibility issue appears when selecting/deselecting a checkbox option.

It doesn't happen in v1.9.109: View Demo

We researched this issue. It appears that the Silktide Accessibility Checker uses a proprietary screen reader simulator. Unlike other screen readers such as the NVDA screen reader, Silktide's screen reader simulator is unable to read a check item's caption for some reason. This behavior is likely specific to the Silktide's screen reader simulator as checkbox items can be properly read by other screen readers.
