Description Gabriel Indik CLA 2008-04-29 17:48:13 EDT 
To reproduce:
From the main menu choose Window->Preferences. In the preferences dialog box expand the tree nodes: Wb->HTML Files->Validation. On the right hand side a number of expandable sections will appear, traverse them using the TAB key, their labels are not read by the screen reader (i.e. window-eyes). This can also be observed in the different pages of the PDE Editor, although it appears the problem happens intermitently depending on the state of the sections (collapsed/expanded) and the order in which controls are traversed.
