Dear Wildebrew,
Wow. You just never know about people's alter-lives, eh?
Do tell! The list is waiting for the details.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] aria-haspopup="dialog"

I filed a Jaws bug for this in December
https://github.com/FreedomScientific/VFO-standards-support/issues/33
(yes, my GitHub username is wildebrew, long story).
This issue has a fairly detailed description of the problem and points to a Codepen I created to demonstrate the problem.
I could go and file it with NVDA, or anybody who is filing this with NVDA is free to point to this issue.
If you do open an NVDA issue about this, please reply to this thread.
If nobody has by Sunday I will try to find the time to open it and will also reply to this thread.
Thanks
-Birkir
