#28889: Customizer - Widgets - Insufficient Information for Screen Readers when
Reordering and Moving Widgets
----------------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter:  GrahamArmfield  |      Owner:
     Type:  defect (bug)    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal          |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Customize       |    Version:  trunk
 Severity:  normal          |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  accessibility   |
----------------------------+-----------------------------
 Tested with NVDA on FF30 and JAWS on IE10, on Windows 7 64 bit.

 To recreate:
 - Start your screen reader
 - Tab into Customize > Widgets
 - Tab to sidebar that has widgets within it and press Enter to open.
 - Tab to the Reorder button and press Enter.
 - Reverse tab back up to reach the Move controls.

 When tabbing to the Move up, Move down, Move to another area controls the
 screen reader does not announce which widget they refer to, so user is not
 clear which one they are going to be moving.

 Suggest that the widget name is included in the span. Eg "Recent Comments:
 Move Up"
