            Bug ID: 174667
           Summary: When aria-modal is set to true VoiceOver does not read
                    the static content in the popupAX:
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When aria-modal=”true” the static content in the modal popup / dialog
 is not read by the VoiceOver at all.
 This causes the following issues:
 1.      If there is any static text running more than a line user cannot
 read and understand. We can make it announce with aria-describedby but
 users cannot check the spelling, punctuation, etc.
 2.      Error messages displayed next to the form control are no longer
 read by the VO while correcting the mistakes.

 If the aria-modal property is removed from the popup, the static text and the error messages displayed next to the form controls are properly read by VoiceOver. However removing the aria-modal makes the VoiceOver read the content out of the popup which is a frustrating user experience.
