#10004 closed Bug
ChromeVox: button names are not announced — at Version 9

Description (last modified by )
When using CKEditor with ChromeVox (confirmed at least in framed mode), button names are not recognized. See the following screencast:
http://screencast.com/t/iK369LOczoKa
It looks like ChromeVox is buggy, we're using aria-labelledby to point reader to the label (works with JAWS and VoiceOver).
Note: issue was originally reported for VoiceOver, but the problem has been in fact in ChromeVox.

I made the original screencast on Mac 10.7, on Chrome 24 with ChromeVox.
This is a screencast of the same setup on the replacebyclass example:

I never used VoiceOver so far, but this is what I got: http://www.screencast.com/t/YshiMiOXEm8 (make sure to turn the sound a bit louder while watching)

@jessebeach - I do not have a lot of experience with VoiceOver, but is it possible that the differences between results on my and your side come from using different keys or VoiceOver configuration (default in my case)?
I'm using the editor this way:
tabkey to get into editing areaAlt + F10to get into the toolbar- right/left arrow key to move between buttons in a single toolbar group
Tabto move between toolbar groups

This one seems to be related to ChromeVox, not VoiceOver.

Yep, I was able to confirm it in ChromeVox and it looked just like on the screencast created by jessebeach. Looks like a bug in ChromeVox itself, it has nothing to do with VoiceOver.

| Summary: | VoiceOver: button names are not announced → ChromeVox: button names are not announced |

I did not try this directly in Drupal, but I checked http://nightly.ckeditor.com/13-01-31-08-51/standard/samples/replacebyclass.html @ OSX 10.7.5 and in both Safari (6.0.2) and Chrome (24.0.1312.57) VoiceOver read properly button names.
@Wim - can you check if the standard/replacebyclass sample works properly?
