I performed a screen reader accessibility test comparing v4.0.0 and v4.2.1, and noticed several regressions in the latest version:

Observed Issues

  1. Collapse Content button
  • v4.0.0: Screen reader correctly announced this as “Collapse Content”.
  • v4.2.1: Only announces “clickable” -- there is no accessible label.
  1. Collapse Information button
  • v4.0.0: Correctly announced as “Collapse Information”.
  • v4.2.1: Also only reads “clickable” — label is missing.
  1. Top panel navigations
  • v4.0.0: The First Image and Previous Image buttons were detected and announced.
  • v4.2.1: These buttons are skipped entirely by the screen reader — they are not announced at all.

Current behavior:

  • Buttons are announced generically as “clickable” or skipped entirely.
  • Labels that were present in v4.0.0 are now missing in v4.2.1.

Expected behavior:
The screen reader should announce:

  • “Collapse Content” and “Collapse Information” for the respective buttons.
  • “First Image” and “Previous Image” for the image navigation controls.
