User Experience:
Users who rely on screen reader would be impacted and not able to get on which tab close button focus is present as same name "Close Tab" is defined for all the tabs close button.

Test Environment:
OS: Win 10 2004 Build (20262.1010)
App: Windows Terminal
App version: 1.4.3243.0
Tool: Accessibility Insights for Windows

Repro Steps:

  1. Open Windows terminal app.
  2. Press "Ctrl+Shift+T" to open multiple tabs.
  3. Now check the name defined for close button of each tab using accessibility insight tool.
  4. Observe the issue.

Actual Result:
Same name as "Close Tab" is defined for all the close button present at each tab. So when screen reader focus navigates to any tab close button then narrator announces it as "Close tab button".

Expected Result:
Descriptive and unique name should be defined for each tab close button like "Close Tab 1".
