Bug 364451

Comment 1 Remy Suen 2011-11-22 08:36:33 EST

Does this occur in all links?

Sample Screenshot

I hope you don't misunderstand me:
The links are accessible with tab but the description under the links are not accessible.
I added a sample screenshot and marked all not accessible elements with a red circle.

This occurs in all Link controls so this should probably be moved to the SWT component. Attaching a simple program to reproduce. Notice how in the Link control text, only the link section is accessible ("<a>More Details</a>") and read aloud by screen readers such JAWS and the Windows Narrator. The link description ("This is a Link control") is never read.


import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Link;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class TestLinkControl {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);
		shell.setBounds(100, 100, 500, 500);
		Text label = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER);
		label.setBounds(1, 1, 300, 100);
		label.setEditable(true);
		label.setText("This a Text control.");

		Link link = new Link(shell, SWT.BORDER);
		link.setBounds(1, 150, 300, 100);
		link.setEnabled(true);
		link.setText("This is a Link control.<a>More Details</a>");

		shell.open();
		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch())
				display.sleep();
		}
		display.dispose();
	}
}

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.
