Engineers are currently investigating the issue.
Description
The Rich Content Editor HTML Editor is currently stripping the aria-description attribute. This is preventing users with screen readers from having those fields announced, and mainly impacting users interacting with the Panopto External Tool.
Expected Behavior
The aria-description attribute should not be getting stripped by the RCE since it goes against accessibility guidelines.
Workaround
Use another HTML attribute that we currently support
Steps to Reproduce
Prerequisite: Have HTML Code that contains the aria-description attribute
-
Go to any page that interacts with the RCE.
-
Open the HTML editor, and paste the HTML code containing the aria-description attribute, and save.
-
Edit the page and return to the HTML editor. See how the aria-description attribute was stripped.
