Hi. Artem, I'm Shadyar a java developer a legally blind computer engineer. I have experience to design and to develop web and desktop applications that be accessible too. I myself use screen-reader daily in both Linux and Windows. If you're working on a accessible application to read by screen reader, I strongly recommend use swt instead of Swing. Swing has been discontinued. If you insist on using a Java product non-native GUI, you can use java-FX. Take a look these project instead of debug a swing project because I predict, this isn't the last bug of Swing you run into it. SWT provides native light weight component for Windows Linux Mac etc. It's an open-source mature project. Java-fx is Oracle's later project after Swing that provides components that usually accessible by default also have additional accessible properties.
