Fixes an accessibility issue where screen readers would navigate to a decorative copy button image and stay mute, violating Microsoft Accessibility Guidelines (MAS 4.2.1 - Object Information).
Problem
When users navigate with screen reader keyboard navigation (caps + arrow keys) in the Resources page, the narrator focus would land on the decorative success checkmark glyph of the copy button. This caused the narrator to stay silent, creating an "Uncomprehended Element" trap for users with visual impairments.
Solution
Added
AutomationProperties.AccessibilityView="Raw"to the success checkmark FontIcon in the CopyButton template. This attribute hides the decorative element from the accessibility tree while preserving the main copy button's accessibility.Technical Details
AutomationProperties.Name="Copy to clipboard"This is a minimal, surgical fix that addresses the specific accessibility violation without affecting the button's functionality or visual appearance.
Fixes #1964.
