Issue Summary
The alternate text provided for the priority icons is found as unnecessary.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to the "Issues" dropdown and activate it.
- Select any issue from the "Recent Issues" section.
- Observe that the "Viewing an Issue" page has appeared.
- Inspect the code of the image and check that alt text is provided unnecessarily.
Screenshot
Actual Results
The images have been given descriptive alternate text such as "Icon: High", "Icon: Medium", "Icon: Blocker", and so on which was found to be unnecessary as they do not convey any additional or important information to screen reader users.
Expected Results
- Provide an empty alt attribute e.g, alt="" for all the decorative images. As screen reader treats the image with an empty alt as a decorative image.
- Remove "title" attribute from the <img> element.
Workaround
Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available
