SDK Version

Application Name

Adaptive Cards

Problem Description

Test Environment:
URL: https://adaptivecards.io/
OS Version: Dev (OS Build 27695.1000)
Browser Version: Version 130.0.2849.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
Screen Reader: Narrator

Pre-Requisite:
Turn on screen reader using caps + spacebar key.

Repro steps:

1. Open the above URL in the edge dev browser.
2. Navigate to the 'Sample' option and press enter key to activate it.
3. Press tab key and navigate to the 'Expenses Report' link and press enter key to activate it.
4. Press tab key and navigate to Export as PDF button and observe the issue.

Actual Result:
Screen Reader is conveying incorrect role information as Link for the 'Export as PDF' button. Currently role is defined as Link.

Expected Result:
Correct role should be defined as button so that when the focus lands on the 'Export as PDF' control then screen reader should announce the information as 'Export as PDF button.'

Note:
Same issue is repro with NVDA as well.

User Impact:
It will impact the screen reader user as they will get confused if the incorrect role as link will be defined for any control as on activating it user will assume that new tab or page will be open.

Open https://adaptivecards.io/ in Edge Dev and reproduce the Expenses Report flow with Narrator or NVDA, then inspect the implementation of the Export as PDF control. Confirm that the control is exposed as a button rather than a link, and repeat the keyboard and screen-reader steps to verify it is announced as “Export as PDF button.”
