Description Romain Deltour CLA 2007-09-26 05:07:11 EDT 
Build ID: I20070621-1340

The triangle drop down button used to access a view menu in the default presentation does not have an accessible name.

You can see this using a screen reader or inspect32.


More information:
The problem seems to come from org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.util.AbstractTabFolder implementations (such as org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.r33.DefaultTabFolder) where the pull-down button is constructed without a name or an  AccesibleListener.

A temporary workaround is to provide a custom presentation factory extending the internal WorkbenchPresentationFactory and setting an AccessibleListener in the createViewPresentation factory method.

It seems to be duplicating part of <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160543">bug #160543</a>, but it seems it's not fixed or should be reopened.

At least it doesn't work on:
Version: 3.3.0
Build id: I20070621-1340

and on RCP apps built from this platform.

I'll check with SWT as to whether the listener should be added directly in SWT or whether the platform UI should be adding it...
