Build Identifier: i20100617-1415 In the resource tree there are radio buttons to choose the java java text file encoding and and new file text line delimiter. When the cursor is in the buttons, orca reads only inherited from container. It would be nice if we could get a message more descriptive. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. using orca, launch eclipse and choose a workspace. 2. In the package explorer select a project, press alt+p, choose properties and press enter. 3. In the page properties choose resource. 4. Press tab six times. orca will read inherited from container. It would be nice if orca reads something like: java editor text file encoding. The same happens in the next button, text file line delimiter.
The screen reader should first read the group instead of the first element. Carolyn shouldn't SWT do this by default?
Another place where this can observed is when creating a class, in the buttons to choose the modifiers. Orca reads public and default. I had no chance to test with jaws.
Moving to SWT. Restored platform and adjusted summary.

I tested this on Windows. JAWS says "text file encoding, inherited from container". NVDA says "text file encoding grouping, inherited from container". Window-Eyes just says "inherited from container". (I looked through the Window-Eyes verbosity settings and I did not see anything that would speak the group text also). So it seems that it is up to the screen reader whether or not it will mention the parent grouping first. I agree that it is a lot better if it does. I will investigate this further with Orca, and I will try to find out if other Linux applications have similar groupings of buttons, and if so, I'll see what Orca says for those.

Maybe we can add some extra logic to the orca to handle this situation. I'll investigate too.
In my investigations I didn't find how the radio button and the parent grouping are connected. It seems that there are no relations between both. Any suggestions? Thanks.Thanks.
I can still reproduce this issue on GTK3.
(In reply to Eric Williams from comment #8) > I can still reproduce this issue on GTK3. This bug is no longer reproducible, Orca is now reading the "Text file encoding" label as well as the button label. Build ID: I20190206-1800 Fedora 29 GTK3.24
