Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 46886
Gnopernicus feedback overly verbose going through Registration options radio buttons
Last modified: 2005-11-16 15:21:45 UTC
1. Run Gnopernicus 2. Install StarOffice via /opt/staroffice8/program/soffice as a first-time user 3. In the installer dialog, get to the Registration page 4. Hear the text "You now have the opportunity to register..." very nicely read to you, along with "I want to register now radiobutton checked". 5. Press down arrow to hear the other radio button options. Hear, AGAIN, "You now have the opportunity to register...", this time followed by "I want to register later radiobutton checked". The problem appears to be in the way AccessibleGroup is used (though perhaps it is a Gnopernicus bug?). In any case, the desired behavior is that only the radio buttons are read as the user moves through them, and not the label for them each and every time.
Changed 'Component'.
ES->OBRE: at-poke shows that the label "You now have the opportunity..." is the label of the radio button group and then read each time an option is selected. We could separate the label from the group but it would be read anymore because it would never get the focus. Proposal: accessible but ugly UI design -> disociate label from options group and turn it into a read only text field...
reassigned.
"You now have... " is in fact a simple FixedText control... VCL however is conducting some magic to automatically associate it with the RadioGroup. This however can be controlled
Please compare Gnopernicus behavior with this StarOffice 8 dialog to Gnopernicus behavior with gedit's Edit->Preferences dialog (the Editor tab). There are two check boxes in a group under the File Saving section. Gnopernicus reads "File Saving Create a backup copy of files before saving checkbox shortcut Alt-B checked" when you tab down to that item, and then when you press down arrow it reads only "Autosave files every checkbox shortcut Alt-A unchecked". Gnopernicus doesn't read "File Saving" for the second checkbox, which is the desired behavior in the StarOffice 8 dialog.
The "You now have..." text has a 'NoLabel' flag since m86, I need to find out, why this gets read out every time
retarget
As discussed with lo retargeted back to 2.0.1
fixed in CWS lo8 The verbose text is now no longer flagged as a label. This also means, that the checkbox group has no label, so no text will be read except the label for the radiobutton itself in focus mode,l since that is where the focus will be.
please verify re-open issue and reassign to es@openoffice.org
reassign to es@openoffice.org
reset resolution to FIXED
Verified in CWS.
ES: also verified as patch
Ok in src680m140
