#9622 closed bug (fixed)

Tabs: Collapsible tabs do not announce the expanded/collapsed state to screen readers

Description

There is no collapsed/expanded state being maintained on the tabs when the collapsible option is enabled. This means that a screen reader user cannot determine what the expanded/collapsed state is and might have difficulty using the page/application where the tab widget is being used.

Use aria-expanded="true" or aria-expanded="false"

Confirmed on VoiceOver. aria-expanded is present but it's on the content panels, not the headers. This is likely the same problem as #9407 for accordion.

In version 1.10.4, I am seeing a similar problem with the accordion. When the header is collapsed, the aria-expanded attribute remains set as true.

Please file a separate issue for accordion.
