Description Arky 2010-03-18 18:04:31 UTC
The 'Show Previous page in history' toggle button is inaccessible, the orca screen reader reads this as 'toggle button. Looks like this buttons needs a accessible name.

Both the Back button and the drop-down have that tooltip (annoyingly, and incorrectly).  Which one is reading incorrectly in Orca?
Comment 2 Arky 2010-03-18 18:17:36 UTC
Thank you for a such quick response Shaun.  The "Back" and "Forward" buttons are spoken properly, however the toggle buttons next them are confusing. Perhaps 'Go to previous page toggle button' or 'Go to forward page in history toggle button' would be more helpful for users.

I have not looked at the content in question using accerciser, so I'm not sure how things look exactly.  But, from a general standpoint, Orca will add the object role (e.g., "toggle button"), so there shouldn't be a need to add that text.  In addition, the briefer the text is, the better.  So, "Previous" and "Next" would probably be the most appropriate text.

Thanks!

So these buttons are actually menu buttons.  When you click them, you get a drop-down of pages in your history.  If Orca is saying they're toggle buttons, that sounds like it would be very confusing.

Test tried for Yelp 2.30
The problem still persists.
Comment 6 Arky 2010-06-15 13:08:59 UTC
Looks this is a common problem in all gtk applications that use gtk_action_group_new(). Do you think we should submit a bug against AT package.
Comment 7 Sajjad Anwar 2010-06-15 14:53:00 UTC
Yes, I think it is a good idea to file a bug against AT package so that it gets fixed for other applications too.
Comment 8 David King 2014-09-24 09:28:27 UTC
The button in Yelp's header bar are now read as "push button" by Orca, which seems right.
