Public bug reported:
Accessibility in gnome-control-center is a bit lacking. The "Appearance"
panel doesn't read the stock backgrounds due to a regression. It has
been fixed in upstream with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-
control-center/-/merge_requests/2828
This bug prevents blind people, who rely on screen readers, not only to
know which background is currently selecting with the keyboard, but
event that they are selecting something.
To reproduce this bug, open gnome-control-center in 24.04, enable the
screen reader, go to the Appearance panel, and using the TAB and cursors
(don't use the mouse), move the selection to the first background.
Nothing will be heard.
With the patch, the name of each background picture will be heard.
The risk of this patch is that the CSS style settings when selecting a
background break, thus showing an incorrect selection style.
