            Bug ID: 237163
           Summary: AX: WebKit should ignore empty modals rather than
                    trapping focus inside them
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: tyler_w at apple.com

Given this markup:

<div role="dialog" aria-modal="true">
    <div aria-hidden="true">
        <button>Close modal (inside modal)</button>
    </div>
</div>

There is no accessible content inside this modal, but WebKit traps user focus inside, making all of the rest of the page completely inaccessible.

medium.com articles (e.g. https://medium.com/@emilymenonbender/no-llms-arent-like-people-with-disabilities-and-it-s-problematic-to-argue-that-they-are-a2ac0df0e435) have similar markup, and are thus entirely inaccessible.
