Description Scott 2022-12-21 08:24:07 PST

VoiceOver on iOS appears to include an extra announcement of "form start" and "form end" when navigating to the first and last elements of a fieldset, respectively.  This makes sense so long as someone is in the context of a form, but is not expected if the role of the fieldset is overwritten in a way where this announcement would no longer be expected.

For instance, the 'form start' / 'form end' announcements will still be made for each of the test cases included in the following codepen.  A separate 'control' of each test case is also provided, where the same role is used on a div element, and the 'form start' / 'form end' announcements are correctly -not- announced by VoiceOver.

The expected result would be that if a fieldset has a non-form associated role specified to it, then it would -not- announce 'form start' / 'form end'.
