1823301 - the fields to enter credentials for an imap gmail account cannot be seen with a screen reader.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1751289

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Sarah A]

Steps to reproduce:

Summary: when in the thunderbird panel and adding a gmail account my screen reader does not see the fields to enter the credentials on imap.gmail.com. A sighted person can however see it.

Steps

Download nvda from http://nvda-projectg.org
Launch thunder bird.
Go through the prompts to add a gmail account.
Notice that when you get to the enter credentials for imap.gmail.com you cannot. I hear a lot of unknown controls when tabbing through. I can produce the same thing in narrator.

Actual results:

I was not able to enter what ever information was needed.

Expected results:

I should be able to enter all information pertaining to a gmail account. Instead I could not do this. This has been broken since after thunder bird 79 yet no one has reported it until now.

I did get this to brake in a video. Here it is.

Sarah, does it still reproduce for you with version 102?

If it does, it seems to me you should be in google's oauth dialog, not a Thunderbird dialog.

Thanks for the video. I think we can consider this a duplicate of bug 1751289
