Having labels shown for menus includes "(Selected)" when the menu is open

[Thomas Jones]

This appears to have been introduced as part of ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/11331.

Our use case has a button with a menu that does not have an icon, but only has a text label. It is not a richcombo or anything like that, but makes use of a custom panel.

However, the only way to show the button label is via CSS, as shown in ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8486145/in-ckeditor-how-can-i-add-a-text-label-to-a-button.

Since the button plugin now adds "(Selected)" to the label when it's open, our toolbar gets thrown out of whack with the extra text.

Ideally, this wouldn't be done as an addition to the label, but through some attribute, but I understand the necessity for screen readers and accessibility.

However, we need some way to hide this label from the UI when we are showing the labels themselves.

The solution we currently have is to use

editor.lang.button.selectedLabel = '%1'

which is very, very hacky.

The same problem can be reproduced in HC mode as well.

I'll mark this ticket as a dup of #14237, even though it should be the other way around (this issue was reported earlier), just because have already started working on #14237.

You can follow it as it's targeted for 4.5.7 release.
