Hi Dmitry, Thanks for bringing this up. To be honest, I think it would be unfortunate to disable the accessibility menu. Is MathJax-a11y a stand-alone/single package? If so and it is simple to package, I might be more tempted to grant an exception and go with solution A). Failing that, I am inclined to go with deferring the fix to buster (unless an accessibility friendly alternative is found). Thanks, ~Niels
