How reproducible?

Always

Where reproducible?

Stage, prod

Steps to reproduce

Setup

  1. Install an accessibility-focused browser plugin such as axe DevTools (seems the corporate standard) or WAVE
  2. Visit console.redhat.com landing page
  3. Activate the extension and scan the page for issues

Expected result

No critical issues found

Actual result

16 critical issues found, each an instance of Images must have alternative text

Further details

The img elements that form the radius corners of each widget tile just need to have an empty alt attribute added, so that screen readers will skip over them rather than reading the full URL of the image each time.

I originally reported this problem in Jira issue RHCLOUD-45017. This GitHub issue serves to capture the problem and its resolution in the version of Widget Layout that goes upstream to PatternFly.
