Hello,
I have understood it so arrowing over aria-label content may not be
possible and the question is whether to disallow navigating to a child
text node or not.
Greetings

Hello Joanmarie,
I've tested what it's done with NVDA on Windows 10, it is possible to
navigate with arrow keys on the link.
As the user is not aware of the content is not visible on the screen,
Orca should make it possible to navigate with arrow keys only in the
context of aria-label.
After a long discussion with blind friends, we couldn't find the
others solutions satisfactory.
I've added Armony in CC, a French web expert that could give us her
input on the topic.
Best regards,
Alex.

Hi Alex.
Orca should now present the label when speaking the link. Note that I
have not yet changed the braille behavior or the caret navigation. So if
you do something like:
<a href="bla.html" aria-label="foo">What sighted users can see</a>
Tabbing to the link should result in "foo" being spoken. But you cannot
arrow amongst the characters f o o because those characters are not on
the screen and Orca does not have any sort of virtual buffer. So you
have a choice:
1. I can leave things the way they are (you can navigate amongst "What
sighted users can see"), or
2. I can make textual links which have aria-label work more like images
(i.e. prevent navigation in "what sighted users can see", which is
the case if you had an image link which displayed a graphic with
those words in it).
Which would you like me to do?

Hello all,
Environment:
- Debian sid
- Firefox 59
- Orca master
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Firefox
2) Paste this content on the URL bar: data:text/html, <a
href="taxhike.html" aria-label="Read more about Seminole tax
hike">[Read
more...]</a>
This content comes from:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_aria-label_for_link_purpose#Examples
Result: Orca reads "Read more..."
Expected results: Orca should read "Read more about Seminole tax hike"
The final use case is to make image links (without img) readable by
Orca
with aria-label. For example: <a class="icon-thumbs-up" title="Accept
translation" style="" id="gwt-debug-target-0-accept"></a>
I assume adding aria-label should make the link readable by Orca.
Best regards.
