919659 - Starting with SM2.21, NVDA screen reader speaks too much information when reading the status bar in the mail client.

Status: NEW

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[David Goldfield]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 SeaMonkey/2.21 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130916112225

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Ensure that NVDA is running.

2.  Open a Seamonkey mail window and place focus on a mail folder, such as the inbox.

3.  Make sure that the status bar is showing by enabling it in the View menu.

4.  Press numpad-insert along with the End key on the sixpack.  This key speaks the text on the status bar.




Actual results:

NVDA speaks "browser, mail and newsgroups, composer, address book" followed by the amount of unread messages, followed by the total number of messages contained in the folder.


Expected results:

In previous versions of Seamonkey, NVDA would only speak the amount of unread messages and the total number of messages contained in the folder.  Example:
"unread, 500 total 600, work offline"

The additional buttons for browser, mail and newsgroups, composer and address book were never spoken when reading the status line before version 2.21.

I'm going to move this to Disability Access.
