I have tested the beta version of wave a couple of weeks back and just
now as well. New wave is providing many options and more accessible for
screen reader users. However I have found the following.
As a screen reader user I have been not able to find the information
provided by the image after the check box with the error message
(heading level 4) saying "Graphic 1" by JAWS and NVDA.
After the image "JAWS" is reading "link #" and then "Graphic more
information". NVDA is not recognizing the "Link #" as link and it is
reading as clickable.
Thanks & Regards
Rakesh
