Details

Found in

  • 109.0a1 (2022-12-07)

Affected versions

  • Firefox Nightly 109.0a1 (2022-12-07)

Affected platforms

  • Ubuntu, Mac

Preconditions

  • Enable Orca - Ubuntu
  • Enable Voice over - Mac

Steps to reproduce

  1. Reach url: data:text/html,<input type='datetime-local'>
  2. Reach each field from the Date picker using Tab key.

Expected result

  • Each field should be read out loud correctly by the screen readers i.e. Month spin button, Day spin button

Actual result

  • Orca reads: mm spin button, dd spin button.
  • Voice Over reads: nan month stepper, nan day stepper

Regression range
This issue is not a regression.

As mentioned above, this is a preexistent behavior and it is also cross-browser behavior for fields within date/time/datetime-local inputs, at least on macOS - both Chrome and Safari keep their silence when these spin buttons are focused with VoiceOver.

That would be a nice thing to have though, to have them announced in the future.
