General problem with aria-describedby in simple html elements like link and button #926

Open

Description

@sharkboyto

With JAWS 2025, the aria-describedby attribute on a link or button is not read by the screen reader when it is focused.
Tested with Chrome and Edge web browsers.

This is a sample:
aria-describedby.html
