Using tab/shift tab for navigation.
Expected result: by entering or changing a value inside the inspector Orca should also read the description before
Actual result: for some settings it reads the value, but not the description before
Not sure, if it's the best way to report it, but I could imagine to check it for each element inside a score.
In general:
- Orca doesn't read the section of the settings (for example "element", "chord", "segment" and so on), not sure, if it works with NVDA, but should be an orientation for the user.
- Also I noticed: From "minimum distance" it switches to "stacking order", then to "color", then to "offset". But not sure, if it's confusing for users with visual impairments.
- Aware, that settings like "offset" or other probably are not important for blind users, I think it could be important for orientation, where he actual is inside the inspector.
Comments
Here a simple made image for explanation, how it works for me with clef properties:
But if I understand this discussion thread correct: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2020-January/msg00298.html, it isn't necessary to report it for each element properties?
Also I noticed, if a note is selected Orca doesn't read "velocity" before the value field, but it does in inspector properties for dynamics.
