I'm getting this same behavior in Firefox with NVDA. Label elements
that are positioned and have overflow of hidden are not being read.
This is certainly a bug. Simply applying styles of
{
position:absolute;
overflow:hidden;
}
causes the labels to be ignored. It does not seem to affect other elements.
This behavior can also sometimes be exhibited with JAWS and Firefox if
you do not follow the cardinal rule of screen reader / browser usage
which is that you must always open the browser AFTER opening the
screen reader.
