Description

Hi,

I have this issue with the jQuery Tab Widget in the accessibility testing. When I turn on Windows Narrator, it read the selected tab title twice. For example: I use the tabs demo in the jquery-ui-main the Narrator will speak: 'Proin dolor tab item two of three selected, Proin dolor tab item two of three selected'

Please give me your advice in this case, I expected that the Narrator only speaker: 'Proin dolor tab item two of three selected'

Many thanks for your support

Thanks & Best regards,

Nguyen Xuan Viet

Start with the jQuery Tab Widget and reproduce the issue in the jquery-ui-main tabs demo with Windows Narrator. Compare the current announcement with the expected single announcement for the selected tab, then verify that the duplicate selected-tab title is no longer spoken.
