A screen reader, JAWS 4.02, can not read a static text without UI control in preference pages and property pages. A Example is as follows: In preference -- Workbench -- Label Decorations page, A static text beginning with "Label decorations show extra information about...." can not be read. The JAWS can read a static text, which can not be focused on, by Insert+B or by combination of Ctrl-Home and Insert-Down Arrow. In New Java project wizard, using Insert+B, JAWS could read the window title, wizard page title and banner messages which user can not focus on. However, in any preference pages and property pages, JAWS could read the only window title.
What you are referring to is a Label rather than a staic text correct? This is a known limitation of JAWS - it can only read Labels that are the direct child of the shell. In future releases of Eclipse we may get support from Henter Joyce for this. Out dialogs have been designed such that no necessary information is inaccessible even with this limitation.
I misunderstood a static text. I could understand the limitation of label without control. And now I have one question. On preference page, JAWS reads only window titie,"preferences dialog" by Insert-B(ReadBoxInTabOrder). That seems not to be JAWS's limitation since JAWS can read the other words with JAWS itself by Insert-B.
