Description Wojciech Sudol CLA 2013-11-07 09:41:41 EST 
The Snippet340 does not work correctly with JAWS when it is run using SWT libraries from eclipse 4.4 M2. The problem is that JAWS does not read the text from the "liveLabel". With NVDA it works correctly. Moreover the snippet works fine with JAWS when it is run using SWT libraries from eclipse 4.2.

My environment: Windows 7 x64, JAWS 14.0.6005.
The snippet code: https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.platform.swt/blob/master/examples/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet340.java.

Niraj, can you please investigate this? Thanks!

Any update on the SWT-JAWS interaction?  I know it's too late for M4, but for M5?

Initial findings:
- Till SWT 4.3.1 JAWS is able to read this snippet, problem is seen from 4.4M1 builds onwards.
Comment 4 Niraj Modi CLA 2013-12-18 09:04:04 EST 
Fix for bug 405450 (Redundant calls in Accessible class when setFocus to child control) delivered in 4.4 M1 is causing this issue.
