Public bug reported: When using a screen reader at the wallpaper settings, the list of wallpapers isn't associated with the "Background" container, so there is no way of knowing what means all those "random" names.
[ Impact ] An user that relies on a screen reader will lack a lot of context when navigating the background pictures in the Appearance tab in settings, making it much harder to use the computer. This has been fixed upstream with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- control-center/-/merge_requests/3179 [ Test plan ] * Open Gnome Control Center and enable the screen reader * Go to the Appearance tab at the left, and then navigate with the keyboard to the list of backgrounds * No context is given about what those pictures mean (with the patch, the first picture will have the "Background" description being said before it). [ Where problems could occur ] This patch just adds accessibility labels, so, in general, any possible problem should be just wrong accessibility data spoken through the screen reader, but no impact is expected for the average user. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Sergio Costas (rastersoft-gmail) Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2116074 Title: a11y: missing role in desktop backgrounds Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When using a screen reader at the wallpaper settings, the list of wallpapers isn't associated with the "Background" container, so there is no way of knowing what means all those "random" names.
