JAWS is not narrating aria-describedby for treeitem
Summary
Brief description of the issue. Please list any specific steps.
Example:
- Go to https://w7bsz.csb.app/
- Navigate to the tree on the page
- On the tree item "House Lannister" press enter to expand it
- Navigate to the "Tywin" treeitem and press enter to expand it
- Navigate to Jaime or to Cersei or to Tyrion
- observe JAWS narration
Expected result
level2 Jaime 1 of 3 has context menu
Actual result
level2 Jaime 1 of 3
What actually did happen? In the fact JAWS is not narrating aria-describedby prop which is on the treeitem. Aria-describedby refers to the element, which has the text "has context menu".
What is interesting that in this scenario JAWS narrates aria-describedby, like:
- Navigate to Jaime
- Press Shift + TAB
- Press TAB key navigate back to the treeitem Then JAWS is narrating aria-describedby attribute.

Additional Information
JAWS version and build number
2021.2103.174
Operating System and version
Win10 enterprise 10.0.19043
Browser and version:
Chrome Version 92.0.4515.107 (Official Build) (64-bit)
From the given URL (#1 above) and as tested using Chrome 92/NVDA 2021.2, the treeitems with aria-describedby announce as shown below when expanded (space key) and arrow up/down:
level 2 Tywin expanded 1 of 2 level 3 Jaime has context menu 1 of 3 Cersei has context menu 2 of 3 level 3 Tyrion has context menu 3 of 3 level 3
However, using JAWS 2021.2011.16 the following announcements were recorded:
Tywin open level 2 Jaime 1 of 3 Cersei Tyrion
After reviewing code, and consulting here, will file this as a JAWS bug.
Retesting with JAWS 2023.2303.144 and I can still reproduce issue. JAWS doesn't narrate aria-describedby.
@stevefaulkner I have also just run into this issue with JAWS 2024. I also checked the backlog and there seems to be several issues with aria-describedby in different scenarios. Do you have an ETA on getting the treeitem issue solved in JAWS? NVDA does it correctly.
