Deprecating the rule because the aria-controls attribute is no longer required by the combobox and scrollbar roles.
Decided by the CG in the August 21 meeting.

Closes issue(s):

Need for Call for Review:
This will require a 2 weeks Call for Review << new rule, or substantial changes affecting a large number of test cases, if in doubt, use this.


How to Review And Approve

  • Go to the “Files changed” tab
  • Here you will have the option to leave comments on different lines.
  • Once the review is completed, find the “Review changes” button in the top right, select “Approve” (if you are really confident in the rule) or "Request changes" and click “Submit review”.
  • Make sure to also review the proposed Call for Review period. In case of disagreement, the longer period wins.

Hi @carlosapaduarte @WilcoFiers, I recommend waiting for w3c/aria#2604 before deprecating the rule (depending on the decision we may only need to update it).
