JAWS reads last dropdown label though focus on previous dropdown
SA-54363
Summary
JAWS reads the last dropdown label even when the focus is on a previous dropdown.
Error Messages
Not Applicable
Steps to Reproduce
Add more than one dropdown and configure them such that they refer the same property (such as, Type) in different page contexts.
Root Cause
The system does not generate unique IDs for dropdowns. Dropdowns refering the same property in different contexts, receive the same 'for=' attribute. Hence, JAWS reads the dropdown labels incorrectly.
Resolution
An enhancement request, FDBK-25550, is created for consideration by Pega Product Management.
