Re: What is going on

Hi Kevin,

This title attribute is being set via wcag.js:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/blob/869d568d59430d0237bef389cf34bb8db1eae1db/script/wcag.js#L77-L84
I am not aware of the reasoning for it, but it seems like a bug in this case.

For components which wrap onto multiple lines as part of a sentence or block of text (such as hypertext links), the bounding box is based on how the component would appear on a single line.</p>
