  6. Verify whether the links present in the "About" pop up are read by the screen reader when the focus lands on the links

Actual Result:
Narrator/NVDA is not reading anything when the focus lands on the links present in the "About" pop up

Expected Result:​
Narrator/NVDA should read the name of the links when the focus lands on the links in the "About" pop up

User Impact:​
Screen Reader users will face difficulty if the links present in the "About" pop up are not read even focus lands on the links because they don't know that there are links present in the pop up
