View issue: Inappropriate alternate text for image links

      Issue Summary

      The alternate text provided for the priority icons is found as unnecessary.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to the "Issues" dropdown and activate it.
      2. Select any issue from the "Recent Issues" section.
      3. Observe that the "Viewing an Issue" page has appeared.
      4. 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
