Description Jennifer Calder CLA 2010-12-03 14:06:58 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

While using the JAWS screen reader, perform any action that causes entries in the Progress view. The entries, while active, will have buttons beside them (usually a red box that allows you to cancel the operation - or an X that allows you to remove the item from the view once it's complete).

JAWS reads these buttons as 'Toolbar' or 'Toolbar button'. Visually impaired users have no way of knowing what these buttons do. As far as I can tell, there is no other action that will perform the operations that these buttons do that the visually impaired user is made aware of.

This issue was reported by a customer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. While using the JAWS screen reader, perform any action that causes entries in the Progress view. The entries, while active, will have buttons beside them (usually a red box that allows you to cancel the operation - or an X that allows you to remove the item from the view once it's complete).
2. Tab to the buttons and listen to JAWS as it reads their purpose.

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.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. 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.
