Title:
A button lacks the A11Y role
Status in malcontent package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in malcontent source package in Noble:
Fix Released
Status in malcontent source package in Plucky:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The "Restrict Applications" button lacks the corresponding role,
so an user using a screen reader won't be able to know that they
can push it to expand the list of applications.
[ Impact ]
An user that depends on the screen reader won't know the associated
role of the button, which can be misleading and make use more
difficult.
[ Test plan ]
* In a virtual machine, open a terminal
* Install `malcontent` and `malcontent-gui` packages, along with
`libmalcontent-0-0` and `libmalcontent-ui-1-1`.
* type `export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME` and `export UNDER_JHBUILD=1` to set
debug mode and pure-gnome mode in gnome-initial-setup.
* enable the screen reader (Super+Alt+S)
* launch `malcontent-control`.
* unlock it with your SUDO password.
* move the cursor, using the TAB key, to the `Restrict applications` button
* without the patch, it will be read as `Restrict applications. Prevents
specified...`, without a role.
Instead, with the patch, it should be read as `Restrict applications
Button. Prevents specified...`
[ Where problems could occur ]
Since this patch only adds A11Y info, the only possible problem is
that incorrect accessibility information would be sent to the screen
reader.
