Tested Questing. I updated all the packages, enabled the screen reader and launched `gnome-control-center`. Went through all the left tab's buttons and the screen reader did say the role, although this time it is translated (in Plucky I have Spanish as language too, but the roles in the screen reader aren't translated).
Then, I went to the "Sound" tab, and navigated with the keyboard to the "Volume levels" widget. The screen reader said "Volume levels button" (in Spanish, of course), as expected for the patch to work. Finally, I went to System->Users, navigated with the keyboard to the "Change avatar" button and activated it. The screen reader said "Stock avatars grouping", and then "Bycicle pushbutton" (thus, the avatar name followed by the role, as expected for the patch to work). I checked all the avatars, and in all cases the screen reader pronounced the role. So I can confirm that this has been fully fixed upstream. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2115973 Title: Accessibility issues in gnome-control-center Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-control-center source package in Noble: Fix Committed Status in gnome-control-center source package in Oracular: Won't Fix Status in gnome-control-center source package in Plucky: Fix Committed Status in gnome-control-center source package in Questing: Fix Released Bug description: 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 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 [ Test plan ] * Open Gnome Control Center and enable the screen reader * 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.
