User interface controls that use only icons aren't ideal for many users.
Universal icons are rare. Icons must communicate meaning but their actual meaning varies depending on many factors including the users cultural background.
Moreover, users with cognitive impairments and speech recognition users need interface controls with visible text to be able to operate them.
- shortens some of the buttons text to: Rotate left, Rotate right, Flip vertical, Flip horizontal
- moves the Undo and Redo buttons underneath the main buttons group

Depending on the amount of meta boxes and the layout settings under Screen Options, sortable meta boxes may not be actually sortable.
In these cases, jQuery UI sortable needs to be disabled and the user interface shouldn't use a CSS `cursor: move`.
The use of consistent and relevant cursors may be important for users who have a cognitive disability, since cursors give a visual clue as to an element's functionality. Using the move cursor for elements which cannot be moved may be confusing or counter-intuitive for users.

Title attributes on abbreviations are only available to a minority of users. The
best option is to avoid unnecessary abbreviations when possible. In the other cases,
use an `<abbr>` element (which provides a hint to user agents on how to announce
and display the abbreviation) and provide an expansion in plain text on first use.
- `readme.html`: improves abbreviations and removes unnecessary `title` attributes
- options-general: removes unnecessary abbreviations and improves the remaining ones
- customizer schedule changeset date: removes unnecessary abbreviations and improves the remaining ones
- posts table date: uses a `span` element instead of an `abbr` element because this is not an abbreviation

Label badges for each Site Health test currently display in either red, orange, or green, regardless of if the test passed or failed. This is confusing, as seeing red labels in the “Passed Test” section could alarm users (when really everything is OK and no action is required), and seeing green labels in the “Failed Tests” section would not appropriately encourage the user to take appropriate action.
This change makes several improvements to the label badges:
- Always right align the badges for consistent display.
- Remove background fill for badges. Instead, use a border.
- Use a consistent styling for all tests (passed and failed).
- The text color no longer uses true black (#000000).
- The `.badge.pink` CSS definition has been switched to `.badge.purple`, and the definitions for blue, gray, and green have also been updated to more closely follow the official WordPress color palette.

The previous method for copying the debug report to the clipboard involved having a hidden `<textarea>`, but this shows up in screen readers and can't be reliably hidden.
To work around this, the button now uses the `clipboard.js` library, which automatically handles browser differences in the Clipboard API, and can load the text to copy from a `data-` attribute on the button.

Using the new fatal handler introduced in [44962], an email is sent to the admin when a fatal error occurs. This email includes a secret link to enter recovery mode. When clicked, the link will be validated and on success a cookie will be placed on the client, enabling recovery mode for that user. This functionality is executed early before plugins and themes are loaded, in order to be unaffected by potential fatal errors these might be causing.
When in recovery mode, broken plugins and themes will be paused for that client, so that they are able to access the admin backend despite of these errors. They are notified about the broken extensions and the errors caused, and can then decide whether they would like to temporarily deactivate the extension or fix the problem and resume the extension.
A link in the admin bar allows the client to exit recovery mode.
