Does this occur with JAWS 5.0 or 6.0? Besides JAWS 4.51, I tried JAWS 6 and got the same result - it only read "Preferences dialog" when I opened Window -> Preferences, clicked on any preference item on the left, and press "Insert + b". As a note Ins+B has only ever worked in the case where the widgets that are children of the root are labelled - i.e. if there are no composites. This has always been a JAWS limitation - I was wondering if it had been fixed or not. JAWS is supposed to be looking at fixing INS+B for 6.1. Not sure if they will get to it, but they will try. Just tried INS+B on the Preferences dialog while running JAWS 7.0. JAWS still only says "Preferences dialog". You have to tab into the dialog to hear anything further. This is a known JAWS problem - INS+B will only speak the direct children of a dialog, and not descendents. I will contact our liason with FS and see if they can have another look at it. Closing as this is a JAWs not Eclipse issue |
