Scrum board: Strike-through content not announced for the screen reader user

    Issue Summary

    Striked-through text is not conveyed and is not announced for the screen reader users.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Open the "Scrum board" page.
    2. Using the screen reader, navigate to the strike-through content.
    3. Listen that no announcement has been made by the screen reader for the strike-through text.

    Actual Results

    When the user navigates to an issue that has a strike-through on it, the screen reader announces it as “SSPA-15”, "SSPA-16", and "SSPA-17". It can visually convey that these issues are cancelled/deleted because of a strike-through on the issue but for screen reader users it does not announce that this issue is completed.

    As a result screen reader users will not be aware of this and cannot interact with it effectively.

    Expected Results

    The issue that has a strike-through should be announced as a “Cancelled/deleted issue” which will help screen reader users to understand the status of the issue. For this, an "aria-label" can be provided which will resolve this issue.

    Code Example:

    <a href="/browse/SSPA-15" aria-label="Cancelled SSPA-15 issue" title="SSPA-15" class="js-key-link ghx-key-link" tabindex="0" aria-describedby="kanban-issue-key-instruction">
        <span class="ghx-issue-key-link">
            <span class="js-key-link ghx-key-link-project-key">SSPA</span>
            <span class="js-key-link ghx-key-link-issue-num">-15</span>
        </span>
    </a>

    Workaround

    Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available
