Also, @andrewserong. |

Thanks @alexstine for your review. To recap the main change in this PR, the logic to determine the list view items accessible name changes from this:
to this:
This is to take into account navigation links because the links text is stored in their |
|
Noting that the labeling will need further improvements for the 'locked' information, the 'sticky' information and 'anchor' information that are visually added to the items in the list view, see #59409 |

I decided to change approach. As such I decided to remove the aria-label. The accessible name will now be the visible text. This has a few advantages:

@afercia Yeah, I've been wanting to do that for a while now but never got around to refactoring all of that out of the aria-label. Thanks, having another pass on this soon. |

Latest commit improves things a bit by providing the 'Untitled' fallback only for block labels (e.g. navigation links with a link text made of only spaces) and by adding a test. A separate issue is whether the editor should ever allow to render empty links on the front end, which is tracked in a separate issue at #59560 |

It is also worth noting that right now on trunk it is possible to add a Heading block and leave it empty or with only spaces.
The current code on trunk prioritizes a block |

I'm probably missing something, as the failing tests show. I'll go again through my changes to see what I'm doing wrong. |

To clarify: I'd appreciate more thoughts on this though Cc @getdave Open to consideer a different fallback if that's more desirable. |

Good point. I can follow up on that! Update: Though historically, the RichText only checked emptiness based on the string length. See: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/rich-text/src/is-empty.js Do we still want to account for spaces? |
|
Ideally we'd wrap this bug up in a single PR @Mamaduka as it will be easier to manage from a release perspective. Is that possible? |

@getdave, do you mean to push fixes on this branch? |

I think this should be handled in getBlockLabel, which should return a fallback (block title) when only spaces are provided.
Then, we don't need to handle this case by case.
I just saw this comment. Changes in this hook will affect every block in the editor. While the argument makes sense for Heading and Navigation links, it might not work for other blocks like Template Part.
Sorry for adding confusion. I'm not personally intending to be pushing fixes to this branch. I meant, if this is targeting 6.5 it'd probably be easier for all fixes to be in a single PR. But if the followups are minor then maybe we should ship this one "as is" and then decide on whether it would be more appropriate to wait on the followups until a post-6.5 patch release? |

@getdave, unfortunately, I've not been following PR closely enough to propose the milestone. But I can see that PR introduces a new string that can't be merged after hard string free — RC1. |

In the latest two commits:
Overall, I think a decision should be made first: whether to allow users to save empty headings or empty links. This should be evaluated for other blocks as well but it's very impportant for headings and links. Update: |
I think this will need a careful evaluation on what it's best for users. It really depends on the kind of content (the block type). It doesn't only impact the admin, it impacts also the front end. For example:

I had previously inquired about simplifying the "Options for %s" label, but was informed the block name was necessary by @alexstine. Is that no longer the case?
Either way though, this should be renamed "Options", like it's called in the block toolbar (as they're the same).
@afercia @Mamaduka Was there a reason to change "Options" to "Actions"?

@richtabor I guess it was a battle I was going to lose eventually. It was really a stopgap to make NVDA behave as sometimes navigating the rows on the right side would not tell you which block you were opening an options menu for.

Fixes #59369
What?
In the Site Editor > Design > Navigation > Any navigation menu, the labeling of the list view doesn't provide any informatiom about what the item is. The only information provided is the link type.
Why?
To be able to understand what they are going to edit, users need to know what the link actually is, ie. the link text.
How?
