Screen reader virtual cursor reads controls

[sergeicodes]

Hi, I experience this issue with inert:

once inert is added it prevents controls from being focused, but it still possible to navigate to controls inside an element with inert with a screen reader virtual cursor and use them (see screenshot).

Is it planned to be so and if yes what can be a solution to totally prevent elements inside inert from being clicked? I only can think of adding aria-hidden for all the controls which doesn't seem a good idea.

The inert polyfill should be adding aria-hidden to the container so any children should inherit that. If that's not working then it's a bug.

This looks like it might be a Chrome bug. It works as expected in Safari.

I filed a Chromium bug to track this:

Hi @robdodson, thanks a lot! I hope it's gonna be fixed at some point.
