Checklist

  • I've looked at the documentation to make sure the behavior isn't documented and expected.
  • I'm sure this is an issue with Summernote, not with my app or other dependencies (Angular, Cordova, React, etc.).
  • I've searched through the current issues to make sure this hasn't been reported yet.
  • My issue is pertinent to this repository of Summernote (jQuery), or I was unable to have my issue resolved from the relevant version I'm using, such as Angular, dJango, Rails or React. Please try your issue at the relevent repository first.
  • I understand that issues without interaction for more than 14 days (2 weeks), may be closed at our discretion. We do this, as sometimes issues are abandoned. We may at our discretion, add issues to the relevant project to be looked at, or for maintainers to work through as time permits. This is to help keep issues relevant to the current version of Summernote, and to reduce clutter.
  • I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.

Steps to reproduce

Pre-requisites: Turn on Screen Readers: NVDA: Ctrl + Alt + N Verbosity: NVDA: Default

Repro steps:

  1. Open URL: Summernote - Super Simple WYSIWYG editor in edge browser.
  2. Summer note page will be displayed.
  3. Navigate to 'Paragraph' control in the rich text editor in browse mode and activate it using alt + down arrow key.
  4. Navigate inside the expanded dropdown content using down arrow key and observe the issue whether in NVDA is announcing correct list count information for paragraph list items in browse mode or not.

Expected behavior

lists should be properly defined for the paragraph list items and announce the correct count with the exact list items present in the dropdown. Ensure that: User should be able to access the controls in the rich text editor using keyboard only.

Current behavior

NVDA is announcing incorrect list count information as "list with 2 items" for paragraph list items in browse mode. But visually there are more than two list items. Observation: Unable to access the controls in the rich text editor using only keyboard without any Screen reader.
