Description jkubasta CLA 2008-06-10 14:23:46 EDT 
When tabbing over the toolbar buttons (and the toolbar buttons for the various perspectives) Windows Eyes identifies the buttons as "graphic" rather than telling the user what function the button performs.

Simply in the JDT perspective?  No editors open?  Only JDT perspective open?

What is the build ID?  "CTRL+3 cbi" will get you to the copy build ID command

We tried this with Window-Eyes 6.0 and JAWS 9.0, and it works for both.
We are running Windows XP SP2.

I'll see if we can try this on Windows 2000.

I was able to try this on Windows 2000 with Window-Eyes 6.0 and Eclipse I20080604-2000 (last Friday), and it works as expected. Window-Eyes correctly reads the toolbar button names when the tool item gets focus. I am using tab, shift+tab, and the left and right arrow keys to traverse through the tool items. Also, MS inspect32.exe shows the correct names for all tool items.

I'm going to close this as "Works for me". Please reopen if you have a repeatable test case, and if so, please state the version of eclipse, Window-Eyes, and the OS that you are using, and please list the steps to show the problem. Thanks.
