Str:
1. Open a message for reading in Thunderbird.
2. Examine the accessibles for the message headers (from, to, subject, etc.).
Expected: They should have prefixes like "from:", "to:", "subject:", etc. Instead, they have prefixes like "fro:", "t:", "subjec:", etc.

This used to work as expected, but broke a few months ago. I don't know exactly when. It's obviously not a huge problem, but it's certainly very strange.
Moving under Thunderbird product until we figure out who is guilty
Component: Disability Access APIs → Disability Access
Product: Core → Thunderbird
This regression was introduced by this commit:
http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/2e455a3aafa8
The labels for the headers used to have a space at the end, so the code which sets aria-label slices off the last character. After this commit, the trailing space is gone, so the slice kills the last letter instead.

I've updated the tests, but I can't figure out how to get them to actually run on Windows. There doesn't seem to be a rule for mozmill-one anywhere, even though this article suggests it should work from objdir:

Looks good to me! r=mkmelin

cd /opt/moz-objdir/mail/mozilla
make SOLO_TEST=message-header/test-message-header.js mozmill-one

(Note the /mozilla part atm, not sure if it's permanent or just temporary, the build system is in flux.) Oh, and I had the patch for bug 1055926 applied.

Thanks! Are you able to check this in for me? (I was going to add checkin-needed, but MDN suggests I ask the reviewer first. :))
With the state of the tree these days, I'll just add checkin-needed

Do we want to backport this to TB 31? If so, please request approval.
It's not hugely important, but it certainly makes things more polished for assistive technology users. (Imagine if visually, all of the header labels had their last letter truncated.)

What's the backport approval process? Does it follow the guidelines here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Uplift_rules
or is there other documentation I should read?
Pretty much. Basically you just go to the attachment 8473439 [details] [diff] [review] details, and set the approval‑comm‑esr31 flag to "?", then fill in the questions in the template that appears. And yes, we should take this I think.

Ok, lets get this onto what's going to become beta for some more testing

I started filling in a request for ESR approval, but I wanted to verify that it works on nightly first. Unfortunately, the latest nightly doesn't include it and nightlies seem to have stalled again...
Verified fixed in Thunderbird 35.0a1 (2014-09-02).
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
I can confirm that it works with orca.
TB version 35.0a1 (2014-09-13)
While I was testing this bug, I noticed that the field that displays the date does not have an associated name. Is it possible create a prefix/name to this field?
May I open an RFE?
