<pre>VoiceOver on Safari 9.1.1 and Nightly reads content that is wrapped in tag that owns an attribute of aria-hidden="true" when content is accessed via virtual cursor (down arrow). Adding role="presentation" does not help as well.
Test URL: <a href="http://s.codepen.io/joe-watkins/debug/aaaa3fb5d794e8b20277fef2543f42b7">http://s.codepen.io/joe-watkins/debug/aaaa3fb5d794e8b20277fef2543f42b7</a>
Test Results:
Using VoiceOver and Safari user loads the Test URL and uses down arrow to access the content. All content is read to the user.. even the content wrapped in aria-hidden="true". When allowing VO to read the entire page aloud the content wrapped in aria-hidden="true" hidden content is NOT read aloud. It appears to be connected to the down arrow virtual cursor.
Expected Results:
Using VoiceOver and Safari user loads the Test URL and uses down arrow to access the content. All content is NOT read to the user. Content wrapped in aria-hidden="true" is NOT read to the user when using the down arrow to change the cursor's focus.
<p>Wrapping text here <span aria-hidden="true" role="presentation">HIDE ME FROM AT</span> and more text here.</p>
In the attached example you can watch me use the 'read all' command and then I step through using up/down arrow in which then the aria-hidden="true" is read aloud.</pre>
