Question

This question might be related to issue

Currently following code

<div role="tablist">
   <a aria-current="page" aria-selected="true" role="tab" href="...">Link 1</a>
   <div aria-hidden="true" ></div>
   <a aria-selected="false" role="tab" href="..." >Link 2</a>
</div>

cause a rule validation informing about child element being without role="tab"

When aria-hidden attribute is replaced with role="presentation" the validation error disappears. Using together aria-hidden with role attribute on the other hand still causes validation issue. Is that an expected behaviour?

Thanks for the issue. Unfortunately we're not able to reproduce this issue. When I run the code I don't get any violations. Which rule is giving the violation (I assume aria-required-child)?

Also which version of axe-core are you using? This sound similar to #4090 which was fixed in v4.8.0.

@straker We used version v4.6, updating solved an issue. Thank you and sorry for trouble.
