| Heading semantics in Timeline Navigation suppressed with NVDA | Enhancement | Identified | Screen reader | <h2 class="tl-headline tl-headline-fadeout" style="height: 35px;">Ada Lovelace</h2> | .tl-headline heading semantics are hidden from NVDA but not VoiceOver. Maybe because the Timeline Navigation has role="application." |
