aardrian, 1 month ago I know that macOS / Safari displayed the alt text for broken images through Safari 17.0 (visually clipping as necessary). Testing in macOS 14.4.1 / Safari 17.4.1, however, shows me that alt text is no longer displayed. Has anyone else noticed this regression? #Safari #accessibility #a11y

simevidas, 1 month ago @aardrian I tested this last year and determined that desktop Safari only renders alt text if it fits within the image’s dimensions: https://mastodon.social/@simevidas/109935983390494346

aardrian, 1 month ago @simevidas Ah, good lead. Thanks! That is something I can test. I did notice this behavior change for even single-word alt though.

HTeuMeuLeu, 1 month ago @aardrian @simevidas That's definitely it, and it's been like this forever. I gave an entire talk about alternative text rendering in 2017. https://speakerdeck.com/hteumeuleu/the-great-mess-of-alternative-text?slide=87

aardrian, 1 month ago @HTeuMeuLeu Yay. I discovered something novel while testing. Turning on VO while in macOS/Safari makes images with images/alt text CSS generated content resize. I’ll make a video later (after meetings), but ref page: https://cdpn.io/aardrian/debug/mdgQNrm @simevidas
