Screenreader reading layer name instead of button name when navigating using B key
Hi Lauren!
Thanks for your response.
We are currently using version 3.49.24347.0 (the updates to the menu in the next version are not ideal for us), but we've tested at the latest version (3.50.24832.0) as well, and the issue persists. The file I've attached is in the latest version as well. We are using JAWS 2018.
I've attached a sample file of three slides, with the layer example on the second slide. I followed up with our JAWS tester to get a more detailed description of the behaviour:
Everything functions as normal when navigating to any of the buttons on the base layer. Clicking a task button opens a layer with more information. On any of these layers, when navigating to a button using the B key, JAWS reads the first text box on the slide - it does not identify the element as a button or read the button text. If you first use the tab/arrow keys to navigate through each element on the layer, THEN use the B key, the buttons identify themselves correctly. Also of note, this behaviour affects edit fields as well in Review 360. Hitting the E key brings you to the comment field in Review, but reads the first text box on the layer.
Thanks for looking into this!
