Description Rich Burridge 2006-02-10 19:24:05 UTC 
Evolution from CVS HEAD, GNOME 2.12, Solaris x86.

With Evolution -> Task View
bring up the "New Task" dialog and
click on the TimeZone icon near the top.
This adds a TimeZone "line" to the panel
below. If you Tab to the graphical button
on the right side of that line, then 
assistive technologies such as the Orca
screen reader get the accessible name for
this component, which is "TimeZone Button".
Unfortunately, screen readers also speak/braille
the role of that component, so the user hears/feels
"TimeZone Button button".

A component should not contain its role in the accessible name.
A better name for this component would be "Select TimeZone".

Comment 2 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-02-10 19:56:54 UTC 
The above patch should correct this as per the original report.

Please note, that String Freeze is due on Monday, so we need to get this in ASAP, if the patch is fine.
Comment 3 Rich Burridge 2006-02-10 20:03:30 UTC 
It looks great! Thankyou for being so incredibly
responsive. Please check into CVS HEAD.
Comment 4 Mike Pedersen 2006-02-10 20:06:07 UTC 
This should be fixed for any controls where the accessible name contains the role.
Comment 5 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-02-10 20:35:29 UTC 
Accepting patch as per comment 3.
Comment 6 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-02-10 20:39:38 UTC 
Committed to HEAD. Sending announcements soon.
Comment 7 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-02-10 20:44:56 UTC 
Mike: True, please file a bug (or separate ones), so we can fix them. Detailed descriptions or string locations would be good, too. :)
Comment 8 Rich Burridge 2006-02-10 21:33:13 UTC 
Hi Karsten. We've filed bug #330723 on the others that we found.
It should hopefully have everything you need to fix them up before
the string freeze on Monday.

Thanks!
