Fixes #9924
Proposed Changes
When computing a block label, if we encounter an empty value input, insert a placeholder so something is read. Use the existing
INPUT_LABEL_EMPTYtranslation string, or'Empty'in English. This is restricted for standard or greater verbosity so that it's not also included when focusing the input or when disambiguating inputs for move mode announcements.Reason for Changes
Empty value inputs are not exposed to screen readers effectively, either as
,or nothing at all.Test Coverage
Existing tests for the Information (I) shortcut were updated as the placeholder is now expected to be used for the empty boolean value input on a new
controls_ifblock.
