Steps to Reproduce
Inspect the Customize button.
Expected Behavior
The aria-expanded (true/false) attribute is present and accurately represents the state of the disclosure associated with the button.
Actual Behavior
The aria-expanded attribute is not present.
User Impact
AT users do not know whether a disclosure is expanded or collasped when focus lands on the button that activates it. Users also may be unaware that the button operates a disclosure.
WCAG 2.2 References
Recommendations
Apply the aria-expanded attribute (true/false) to the buttons. This attribute conveys both the state of the disclosure and that the button operates a disclosure.

Thank you for the bug report!
It is also recommended to add aria-haspopup="dialog" to this button to indicate the Settings dialog opening, when activated.

Assigning the Severity value to align with the Accessibility severity, per discussions with :thecount and :marco
Hi, I would like to work on this bug. I was able to reproduce the issue. I checked the code and saw that aria-haspopup="dialog" is already present on the button as suggested in Comment 3. But aria-expanded is missing. I will start working on it and submit the patch shortly.
