Actual Results
An inappropriate and non-descriptive label such as “Other” is provided for the link in the toolbar which fails to convey the functionality associated with the link for screen reader users. As a result, screen reader users might not understand the purpose of the link effectively.
Expected Results
Provide appropriate and descriptive label “Insert Macro” using the “aria-label” attribute in the <a> element.
