Description Tod Creasey CLA 2011-04-27 10:18:45 EDT 
When using a screen reader, the following instructions are announced when the dialog opens: "Use F2 to display the description for a selected view." If you then navigate to a view and press F2, the screen reader announces the dialog title again along with the same instruction to "Use F2 ...". Whatever information is displayed when the keyboard is used to press F2 should be announced by a screen reader. Currently, this information is "No description available".

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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
