False positive #1? about accessibility-insights-service HOT 7 CLOSED

@geoffrk00 I took a look at this issue again, and actually I am noticing that the failure looks legitimate; it seems it is getting caused by the duplicate footer at the very bottom of the page. Here is a screenshot of the double footer that I am seeing:

I did notice that refreshing the page seems to resolve the double footer issue. However, I can consistently reproduce the double footer on the first time I navigate to the site from a new tab. Let me know if you also see this, and if you have any more questions for us.

Fantastic Catch!!!!
Thank you so much for finding this and providing the screenshot.

We were able to find a way to reproduce this. It was complicated, but this resulted from a combination of HTTP chunked delivery combined with an experiment script. The result was that the footer wound up getting duplicated.

We have found a simple way to prevent this by ensuring that the experiment script waits until the dom is completely loaded before beginning it's experiment.

We are in the process of deploying this script now. We will rerun the accessibility scan once we have this deployed.

In any outcome, it is clear that this is not a problem with the scanner.
This issue can be resolved.

Again, than you so much for spotting this.

Agreed; running automated checks against the url that reportedly has this failure, does not produce the same failed result. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; the team will triage this issue and address it.
