Description Matt Keenan (IRC:MattMan) 2006-04-03 14:15:58 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In gedit->Edit->Preferences->Font & Colors dialog, when tabbing to the actul push
button that contains a specific color, screen reader cannot determine the colour.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable the accessilbity for screen reader.
2. Launch gedit by selecting "Application -> Accessories -> Text Editor"
3. Invoke preference window by selecting "Edit -> Preferences"
4. Select "Font & Colors" tab, then uncheck the "Use the default theme colors"
5. Move the focus onto the push buttons such as "Normal Text Color", "Background
Color" etc by pressing tab key.

Actual results:
Screen reader reads only the lable such as "Normal Text Color", for color edit
box it reads it as push button. But it will not read the color configured on it.

Expected results:
Screen reader should be able to determine the actual color on the button.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Also reproducable on Edit->Preferences->Syntax Highlighting

This sounds like a gtk bug since those widget are just GtkColorButtons.

can you check if the "pickers" demo in gtk-demo has the same issue?
Comment 2 korn 2006-04-04 01:20:37 UTC 
I believe this is a dup of an existing bug - to make the GTK+ color picker have AccessibleNames on all of the color buttons.  I don't recall the bug ID at the moment...
Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2006-04-10 10:37:46 UTC 
I couldn't find the dup either... moving to gtk+
