Summary of the changes
Remove the forced
aria-describedbyfromIcDialog's native dialog element so structured slotted content is not flattened into a single screen-reader description.This keeps
aria-labelledbyfor the dialog heading/label and allows links and other semantic content to remain navigable.Added:
aria-describedbyis omitted, heading labelling is preserved, the slotted link remains focusable, and axe passesThis follows WAI-ARIA APG guidance to omit
aria-describedbywhen dialog content contains semantic structures that need to be navigated.Related issue
Closes #4451
