            Bug ID: 244881
           Summary: AX: Heading element are not exposed in VoiceOver rotor
                    when they are inside a button
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 15
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When a heading element is inside a button (for example when implementing some collapsible panel) like bellow:

<button type="button">
  <h2>Some title</h2>
</button>

Then the heading element will not be seen as an heading by VoiceOver.

- you don't see it in the list of headings exposed by the rotor
- you cannot navigate to it when using heading navigation

This is a major issue as heading structure is widely used by screenreader users to navigate in documents.
