Screen reader says the wrong count in Preferences modal due to missing radiogroup

Increasing Access

We want the editor to be fully navigable using screen readers.

Feature enhancement details

I downloaded a screenreader and I'm playing around and finding issues. In the preferences modal it announces like this:

"Autosave on checked radio button 4 of 11"

It should be announcing "1 of 2" instead of "4 of 11" (where 1 is "on" and 2 is "off"). But it uses the total count of the radio buttons in the form because we do not have the radiogroup attribute around each "on/off" section.

Might make sense to address this after #2323 so that we only need to change it in one (or two) places instead of many.

@lindapaiste I looked into this issue on both Windows and macOS using the NVDA screen reader (as mentioned in the original report), and I couldn't reproduce the problem. The screen reader correctly announces "1 of 2" and "2 of 2" for the on/off radio buttons in the preferences modal.

For further confirmation, you can also check out the testing video I recorded.
@raclim — I believe this issue has been resolved and it's safe to close it now.
