1.9.25.3 adds 'ui-helper-hidden-accessible' 'div' element to pages/posts

    Hello,

    I am using version 1.9.25.3 of NextCellent Gallery on WP 4.1.1.

    Since 1.9.25.3 or one of the preceding releases the following HTML code is added by NextCellent Gallery to all pages/posts (this means that disabling NextCellent Gallery fixes the problem):

    {div class="ui-helper-hidden-accessible" aria-relevant="additions" aria-live="assertive" role="log"}{/div}

    When hovering links on the page with the mouse items containing the hovered element’s title text are added to this ‘div’ element.

    The abovementioned ‘div’ is visible to the user.

    As a temporary fix I added a CSS rule that hides the unwanted ‘div’.

    However, I would prefer a solution that does not add this ‘div’ and the associated functionality to pages/posts at all.

    Any ideas on how to fix this are welcome. Thank you in advance!

    This is a feature(or bug) in jQuery itself (http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/10689).

    Unfortunately, this means the CSS fix is the only fix.

    Thank you for the quick reply.

    This jQuery UI feature removes the value set for the HTML title attribute when hovering/touching an HTML element and instead adds an unpositioned div somewhere in the bottom part (!) of the page that contains the former title text (that’s the div I am hiding).

    It breaks/removes all the title tooltips shown by current desktop browsers (!), thereby reducing overall accessibility and usability for users (title tooltips often provide important information about the meaning of icons, for example).

    This problem is also somehow related to the other problem I described (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/19253-breaks-other-code-using-jquery-in-safari-mobile), which seems to be caused by jQuery UI’s removing of the title attribute when touching/hovering elements.

    Any ideas on how to fix my websites are very welcome :-)!

    Hi codifex,
    Niko already submitted a request to workaround the problem.
    This fix will be released with other improvements in 1.9.26 version.

    Thanks for your feedback!
