Thank you, Rakesh!

I was taking it as an accessibility bug, because NVDA reads
A hidden text 'Section' in case navigating through the modal dialog with Tab key. Isn't it an unwanted announcement?

Hi Surendra,


That is not an accessibility bug. Since it is a modal dialog developers use
role dialog. This causes NVDA to shift to the focus mode.

It is expected that user need to press insert + space bar to shift back to
browse mode and read the content.
