Actual Results
On activating "release/s121" and "master" button, the status message "Branch name copied" gets dynamically added on the page. The dynamically added message is not defined programmatically.
As a result, screen reader users are not aware about the message being displayed on the page.
Expected Results
Screen reader should announce the dynamically added status message for their users.
Use ARIA live region to make sure that the dynamic update is announced for screen reader users. This can be achieved by either adding a live region role="status" or aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" attributes to the container used to display the message. Make sure the live region is present in the page source by default.

Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
