** Description changed: Gnome Control Center has several accessibility issues, specifically: * All cc-list-row elements lack a role (like the volume levels button, alert sound button...) - * The avatar pictures lack a role - * The background list lacks a label for context + * The avatar pictures lack a role and a context + * The buttons in the panel's list of elements lack a role [ Impact ] An user that relies on a screen reader will lack a lot of context when navigating the settings, making it much harder to use the computer. There are three patches that fix all this. Since all of them are related to accessibility, they have been grouped in a single bug: + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/3187 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/3184 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/3183 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, and using the keyboard, navigate to the Background themes. It will say only the picture name. With the patch, the first picture will be presented as "Backgrounds name-of-the-picture", adding context for the user. + * Go to the tabs at the left and move over them using the keyboard. The name will be spoken. With the patch, the name and a role ("button") will be spoken. * Go to the System->Users tab, and choose the option to change the Avatar picture. It will say only the name of the picture, but no role. With the patch, it will say "name-of-the-picture Button", and also the first one will say "Stock avatars" before too, adding context. * Go to Sound->Sounds->Volume levels using the keyboard. It will say "Volume levels". With the patch, it will say "Volume levels button", thus specifying the element role. [ Where problems could occur ] All the cases just add 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.
