Hey All,

Need your thoughts on this situation, would you consider it as
accessibility violation or a usability feature?

Expected - Screen reader should confirm"Filters Applied" after user
hits "Apply" button after selecting the filters from the filters
dropdown.
Actual - Page refreshes when "Apply" button is clicked and screen
reader doesn't say anything.

Although there is SC 4.1.3 Status Messages in WCAG 2.1 for it but we
do not follow it till now, the closest SC seems to be 1.23.1 Info and
Relationship.

Thoughts?

Best Regards,
Ajay
