Can you remember what combination generated that result and did it differ if another naming mechanism was used?<br />
<br />
NVDA, for example, always states "button" followed by the name when browsing with arrow keys, regardless of how the name is provided (nested text label, aria-label, or title). By contrast, JAWS always announces the name of the button first, again regardless of how that name is provided.<br />
<br />
I agree that semantically <title> isn't great but clients often don't care about that argument (understandably) if ultimately it works.<br />
