Content hidden from screen readers must not contain links or buttons that still take focus.

When it fails

Content hidden from screen readers can still take focus: hidden content remains focusable, or presentation semantics conflict with an accessible role or name

Passes when

Hidden and presentational elements do not conflict with focus or accessibility semantics

How to fix it

Remove aria-hidden from containers that hold focusable controls, or make those controls unfocusable while hidden (the inert attribute does both).
