Description Benjamin Gold

2009-08-24 11:08:26 EDT

Build ID: M20090211-1700

Steps To Reproduce:

1)  In Windows XP, open preferences (Window/Preferences)
2)  Navigate to General/Editors/Text Editors/Spelling
3)  Using keyboard controls, tab through to the "Encoding" radio button

When using the JAWS screen reader, JAWS only reads the text on the button and does not include the preceding Label or Group text.

More information:
I can work around this issue by adding my own Accessible Listener and concatenating the outer Label text with the inner radio Button text.  But this is the only widget I've had to do that for.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
