Description pmuesbeck 2015-04-23 21:26:22 UTC
Voice Over on Mac OSX is not reading the tab information of the different pages of the preferences window. (Preferences > Editor has the tabs General, Folding, Formatting, Code Completion etc.) It does not tell the users which tabs they are in, which are available or which they just navigated to. Navigation of the tabs is possible using the arrow keys, but not by using the VOICE OVER + ARROW KEYS combination which moves the Voice Over focus. The navigation using normal keys is silent and might confuse BVI users as they do not get any feedback.
