Issue Summary
A <header> element is used unnecessarily in the non-modal dialog (becomes available on activating any issue link).
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the "Scrum board" page.
- Navigate to any issue on the board and activate it.
- Observe that the issue will open in a non-modal dialog.
- Using screen reader, navigate through the non-modal content, observe screen reader announcement.
- Inspect the code.
- Observe <header> is used unnecessarily.
Screenshot

Actual Results
The <header> element is incorrectly defined in non-modal dialog (becomes available on activating any issue link). As a result, the banner is announced twice on the page which resulted in a confusing experience for screen reader users.
Note: Screen reader identifies the <header> element as “banner” landmark for its users. A page can have only 1 banner.
Expected Results
Remove <header> element from the issue non-modal dialog. As there should be only 1 banner on a webpage.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
