Tested in Noble. I confirmed that I had the correct version from `proposed`, so I enabled the screen reader and launched gnome-control- center.
There, I navigated to the "Appearance" tab and, from there, navigated using the keyboard to the list of backgrounds. The screen reader said out loud the name of each background, as expected. So I can confirm that this patch does work. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-noble ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-noble -- 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/2114995 Title: Accessibility fails in background selection 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 Released Status in gnome-control-center source package in Questing: Fix Released Bug description: 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 [ Impact ] This bug prevents blind people, who rely on screen readers, not only to know which background is currently selecting with the keyboard, but even that they are selecting something. [ Test plan ] 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. [ Where problems could occur ] One of the risks of this patch is that the CSS style settings when selecting a background breaks if the code wasn't correct, thus showing an incorrect selection style. Another possible risk is a regression in accessibility if the changes in the a11y tree have some undesired side effect.
