Invalid aria-describedby for email if user not current user

[kkmuffme]

​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/trunk/src/wp-admin/user-edit.php#L548

<?php
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" aria-describedby="email-description" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $profile_user->user_email ); ?>" class="regular-text ltr" />
                                                        <?php if ( $profile_user->ID === $current_user->ID ) : ?>
                                                                <p class="description" id="email-description">

if user not current user, the aria-describedby is invalid and shouldn't be output

Good catch! We should indeed use the same condition to determine wether the attribute is relevant or not.

Thanks everyone for testing the patch :)
Let's ship this, then.

In 59978:

Users: Remove unwanted aria-describedby attribute in User Edit.

This changeset removes the aria-describedby attribute when not editing the current user, as no description paragraph is associated.

Fixes #63006.
