Details

The current icon cells for threadTree show incorrect text in the accessibility tree:

  • selectCol always shows the same text "selectCol". Also, there is no indication that this is a checkbox in the accessibility tree.
  • deleteCol always shows the same text "deleteCol". There is no indication that it is a button.
  • junkStatusCol shows the junk score. Most messages will therefore have "0". In correspondence with the icon, this should be a binary text description, like "Junk" or empty.

The following seem to be fine, but I'm not sure if they are localized:

  • flaggedCol either "Starred" or empty.
  • attachmentCol either "Has attachment" or empty.
  • unreadButtonColHead either "Unread" or empty. There is no indication that it is a button though.
  • threadCol either "Expanded" or empty.
