Re: Chrome 80 Bug

I have replicated this issue, and it is simpler than you say, at least on my machine, which also has Chrome 80. I am looking at the <input> element's accessible name in the developer tools rather than relying on a screen reader, and the issue is just that the contents of the <strong> element are not included in the <input> element's accessible name.

All your examples work as described, but you could have left out the <span> elements.

I get the same behaviour whether the <label> is wrapped around the <input> element or if they are associated by means of "for" and "id" attributes.
