[SF][A11y][ui5-list]: Availability of interactive elements within the row is not getting announced

[Neeeko]

Bug Description

Using a screen reader such as JAWS, when we focus on a full row which contains a button, the screen reader properly announces the content of the row, but not the interactive element. Ideally, it should announce a button as such so that an accessible user can understand that there's an interactive element within the row.

This feature works properly in SAPUI5: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/entity/sap.m.CustomListItem/sample/sap.m.sample.CustomListItem

But not in this code sand box: https://codesandbox.io/s/v63xqt?file=/index.html

Affected Component

Hi @Neeeko,

Could you please split the described items into two separate issues, so we could process them more precisely?

Thanks and Kind regards, Yana

Hi @yanaminkova, I raised the following defect for the F2 issue: https://github.com/SAP/ui5-webcomponents/issues/7736

Hello @SAP/ui5-webcomponents-topic-p,

When we have CustomListItem with interactive element within it, for example ui5-button, when the list item is on focus, just the button's text is announced. There is no information that it is a button. : https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents/nightly/playground/main/pages/List/ In UI5, in the same scenario both "button" and its text is announced.

Could you please look over?

Thank you in advance!

Kind Regards, Niya
