Query on Accessibility Insights Potentially Flagging Issues From Other Pages

[lisli1]

Hello @daphneyyt, thank you for using Accessibility Insights.

Given the information that I can gather from the screenshots, my guess is that the elements are being hidden but are still present/active on the screen, which would show up to assistive technologies and thus cause the components to be flagged as issues, even if they are not visible. Currently, I can give you the following answers:

Examples 1 & 2:

1. It depends on how the elements are displayed and switched out of view; can't tell from screenshots.
2. Again, I can't give a definitive answer on whether the issues can be ignored, based solely on the screenshots.
3. I'm not sure what you mean by this question, particularly "assistive technologies are already in place." Can you clarify?

Example 3:

1. It is possible that the elements are the same, but it's hard to tell from the screenshots. You can try to fix the issue on one tab and see if the issues are still being flagged for the other tab when you re-run.
2. Accessibility Insights for Android will flag all failure instances, so it is best to fix the app so that the issues are no longer flagged. The actual fix will depend on how the components in the app are programmed.

Ultimately, based on the information shown in the screenshots, it's a bit difficult to determine what the exact issues are; I can only speculate what might be the issue, but the only way to actually diagnose the problem is if we can get a working repro of the issues.

Is there any way you can provide us with a minimal version of the app with just the components in question?
