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
