[Tree] NVDA redundantly announces “row” for each node due to role="treegrid" #2609
Description
Provide a general summary of the issue here
Summary
When using role="treegrid", NVDA announces “row” for each node, and then again for the node’s position in the tree. This creates redundant, confusing output.
Problem
- Repeated “row” announcements clutter the experience.
- Makes it harder for users to focus on meaningful context.
- Current implementation does not provide a clear indication of the level the user is currently on.
Proposed Fix
- Investigate if announcing row position can be suppressed.
- Explore alternative, more user-friendly ways of indicating the tree level.
Impact
- Improves clarity and reduces noise for screen reader users.
- Ensures tree navigation is easier to follow.
- Acceptance Criteria
- Redundant “row” announcements are eliminated.
- Screen reader users get a clear, concise announcement of their current level in the tree.
