A title attribute should not be added to the select elements. Having a title attribute will cause a native hover to show. We however use custom hovers. If this is just about testing, we should not be adding anything that will influence UI…
Since moving to title attribute we changed our tests to use the
aria-labelinstead oftitle, however, it doesn’t always make sense to have the aria-label where a hover exists. So we could also benefit from another solution. Currently, we set acustom-hoverattribute on the HTML element when we setup a custom hover for a dom element. One idea could be instead of setting the attribute to true, we could set it to the hover text which is similar to how the title attribute works. But we should only do this for simple hovers (do not do this if the hover has a markdown string).This feature request is now a candidate for our backlog.
