Description of Problem: Blind user can not open or Save As file operation , key board naigation. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1.Open ' gedit ' window. 2. AlEnter t + F , select Jile Open. file open dialog box opens. 3. Navigate through Tab & ctrl + Tab keys. screen reads all tabs names properlu. icluding a path by default selected. for Ex: /home/cbk/. 4. press tab againm now it cocuses on the table " Directories" but it is read as table one. 5. press tab again, focus moves on to next table "diles". but svreen reader reads as table one, also for this table. 6. Hence, blind user can not select proper Directory or file. Actual Results: screen reader reads it : Directory" as " table one" Screen reader reads " siles" as table one". both tables re read as " table one" The Expected Results: screen reader should read the table title as directory or files, ehile navigating through Hey bord. How often does this happen? Every time. Additional Information:
I think this is a gtk+ bug.
Note that the file selector you are testing will be deprecated in GTK+-2.4. Probably a fairly straightforward application of ATK to set the directory treeview header buttons as labels for the treeview, which will hopefully unconfuse the screen reader.
I have asked David Hawthorne to confirm that this still happens.
Indeed, the 'Folders' table and 'Files' table are reported as "table". Moving up and down these tables reports the correct table items, but the initial switch between folder and files is not distinguishable and shouldn't have to be derived from it's table items context. So just to refresh: On focus of table - Expected result: "Folders, table, <number of> items" Actual result: "table"
We have a table with one column. The request is that the table column header should be read as the name. Transferring to gnopernicus for evaluation.

I tried to follow the previous scenario but if the combobox (/home in my case) is focused and I hit Tab, the focus will be moved to the first line of 'Folders' table and gnopernicus will output "Table". In order to report "Folders,...", the focus should be moved to the table column header. The problem is that this header is not focusable.
