Description Adam Kiezun CLA 2002-05-21 04:59:15 EDT 
labels should not be used because they cannot be accessed by screen readers 
(see accessibility guildlines)
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-06-09 18:07:12 EDT 
defer
Comment 2 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-07-24 05:25:08 EDT 
Should be fixed for 2.1

Even a 2.0.1 candidate
Comment 3 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-08-05 09:25:54 EDT 
Not for 2.0.1. Invalidates screen shots and documentation.
Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-09-18 10:18:20 EDT 
Tod, can you please comment on this. What is the opinion of the workbench: 
should we use groups in this cases.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-09-18 10:28:18 EDT 
Screen readers read the parent tree of a widget until it hits a point where 
there is no more information - i.e. in a Composite.

Look at the Java Preference Page as an example.

In Link settings the Link settings title will not be read as it is a sibling 
of the buttons and the screen reader will assume it is irrelevant.  If the 
surrounding Composite is changed to a group with the title Link Settings the 
title would then be read as it is in the parent tree of button.
