An accessibility issue was found in the admin bar when creating a new post
in mobile. The error, "Uses ARIA roles on incompatible elements,"
indicates that ARIA roles are applied to elements that do not support
them. This can to be corrected to meet accessibility best practices and
improve compatibility with assistive technologies.
To reproduce:
- Open Lighthouse
- Go to any posts and edit
- Make sure you select Mobile in Device option and Accessibility category
- Run the Accessibility scan.
