Node selection should be indicated for screen readers

[plannero]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

10.4.0

Bug summary

In the ”move page” panel, when you select a destination node, the selection is visually indicated with a “check” symbol. But for non-sighted users this information is not available at all.

Specifics

You should set aria-selected or aria-checked attribute (depending on element role) for the node at the same time as toggling the symbol.

Steps to reproduce

This problem appears when you want to move a node in the content tree, as you select a destination (parent node), while using a screen reader.

Expected result / actual result

After selecting a parent node as destination, the selected node should be announced as selected by the screen reader, so that you know you did a proper selection before saving changes.

Hi there @plannero!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂
