Has anyone seen the following? I have a Span that contains an input field and an adjacent inner span. The inner span contains a percent sign. The outer span has aria-atomic=true and aria-live=polite. In NVDA and Voiceover all changes to the input field are announced (politely) along with the percentage sign. Jaws 2020 ignores the percentage sign despite the aria-atomic. I'm using Chrome for this test. I don't care about IE or Edge.
Is this a known bug?
Thx.

Yes, I believe this is
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id67257, which should
be fixed in Chrome 84.

Sorry for the foolish question. I am new to ARIA and not know much as of
now. What little I understand is that if area=atomic is set to true in the
parent span then the % in the inner span should also be announced, which is
currently ignored by JAWS. Is that right?

Hi,
that ticket is about the opposite problem: that everything is announced, instead of the desired behaviour of new content only.
If you want to determine if the issue is with JAWS, even though you don't care about Firefox, see what JAWS does there. If it also won't announce the % there (and if it normally announces %s, which I think it does), it's better to file a bug at the FreedomScientific github https://github.com/FreedomScientific/VFO-standards-support/issues
cheers,
_mallory
