Actual Results
The <header> landmark is defined for the "Move issue" heading text and the <footer> is defined for the "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons unnecessarily.
The landmarks are to used defined regions on the page to access the content quickly. In this scenario, the landmarks are not needed.
Due to this, the screen reader users will have to listen to the extra information about the landmark unnecessarily.
Expected Results
Make sure that the landmarks are not used unnecessarily. In this case, remove the <header> and <footer> landmarks from the "Move issue" heading and the "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
