I'm facing an issue with the JAWS reader where it is reading the column value twice.

JAWS screen reader is reading twice aria-label="High Priority Reminder Subject Reminder Message Attachments Present" instead of reading single time.

<th id="mpage-ui-205-rowheader-211869257" headers="mpage-ui-205-Subject" class="pDkMCtVTmP2LEL-T-Lg-Gw== XSXDkcSrgRoiB3Hz9tZitg== orion-fusion-theme" scope="row" role="rowheader" style="left: 0px;">
   <div class="HcCpsY-wiG1lRx+5s2Q3cw== orion-fusion-theme" style="height: 2.5rem;">
      <div class="mpageui-Table-row-cell">
         <span class="mpageui-u-text-align mpageui-u-text-align--truncate">
            <div aria-label="High Priority Reminder . Subject Reminder Message. Attachments Present" tabindex="0" class="mpageui-u-text-align mpageui-u-text-color-attention mpageui-u-text-bold">
               <svg class="D9PJU4OMM4FofOVyof8-6w== MS7wZR3s+OQ8YdA6I9Km8Q== hY6iGjRIBoRdGFq3qcDMgQ== orion-fusion-theme mpageui-SvgIcon mpageui-SvgIcon-HighPriority mpageui-u-text-color-attention" viewBox="0 0 8 48" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="presentation" height="1em" width="1em" focusable="false">
                  <path d="M0 40h8v8H0v-8zM0 0h8v32H0V0z"></path>
               </svg>
               <span class="mpageui-u-text-align-text mpageui-u-text-color-attention mpageui-u-text-bold">Reminder Message</span>
               <svg class="D9PJU4OMM4FofOVyof8-6w== MS7wZR3s+OQ8YdA6I9Km8Q== mpageui-SvgIcon mpageui-SvgIcon-Attachment mpageui-u-text-color-secondary" viewBox="0 0 48 48" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="presentation" height="1em" width="1em" focusable="false">

               </svg>
            </div>
         </span>
      </div>
   </div>

  • Why do you have an aria-label and tabindex on an element without any semantic meaning (a div)? And how would users without a screen reader get the information "High Priority Reminder Subject Reminder Message Attachments Present"? This code example doesn't seem to make much sense.
