For example, the default Admin menu has 11 first level items and NVDA will announce: > ""navigation landmark list with 13 items"" NVDA says ""13"" because it takes into account all the `LI` elements and 2 of them are just visual separators: empty `LI` with no link or text. Screen reader users may be confused because they're informed about ""13"" items but then they can navigate to just 11 of them (about the last item, the ""Collapse menu"", see #29958). Proposed patch just adds an `aria-hidden=true` attribute to separators, you can see the result in the NVDA Speech Viewer window in the screenshot below. [[Image(https://cldup.com/0LbkcmM0MC.png)]] @screen reader users, the default first level 11 items are: - Dashboard - Posts - Media - Pages - Comments - Appearance - Plugins - Users - Tools - Settings - Collapse menu ",enhancement,closed,normal,4.1,Menus,4.0,normal,fixed,has-patch,,"ui, accessibility"
