Description Martin Renvoize 2020-07-22 10:13:46 UTC
When the ‘Browse shelf’ links are selected, a carousel is presented below the table.
However, this isn’t announced by screen reader software which means some users may be
unaware that additional content has been made available and unable to determine the
purpose of the links.

Solution:
Ensure screen reader users are informed of important information when it becomes
available. Consider implementing status messages so that important information can be
presented to users of assistive technologies without receiving focus.
Comment 1 Martin Renvoize 2020-07-22 10:24:11 UTC
I'm not entirely sure why the 'Browsing "your library"' title of the shelf browser itself doesn't count.. perhaps it's just not being picked up correctly by screen readers and we need to add a hint somehow for that to happen?

Bug 26039: Focus and Scroll to ShelfBrowser on load

When the shelf browser link is clicked we perform a full page reload
which results in a reset in the context. We should immediately focus the
shelf browser and scroll to that region to highlight the change of
content.
