Description Stanislav Ochotnicky 2016-04-06 07:10:41 UTC

Description of problem:
I have a report from user using screen reader (Orca) that bugzilla component selection when reporting bugs is not giving proper hints. Specifically:
 * when selecting component field there's no hint about type of field
 * Selection changes are not announced

I put Pavel on CC, maybe he can elaborate more

Comment 1 Stanislav Ochotnicky 2016-04-06 07:13:42 UTC

Oh, one suggested option/question was if it would be possible to have accessibility setting where the component selection would be ordinary dropdown (with the performance impact it causes)

Just a quick update, the upstream issue has a somewhat working, unfortunately not merged, solution in the last comment.
