Description
Describe the bug
It is possible to navigate to and within the More area of a palette, but NVDA and Narrator least do not seem to read these. Orca does.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Start Narrator
- From any score, hit Shift+Tab to navigate to palettes
- Navigate to Articulations palette
- Use expand button to open it
- Navigate to the More button
- Hit Space to press it
- Navigate through this area
- Hear error: NVDA does not read
Expected behavior
These controls should be read.
Platform information
- OS: Windows
Additional context
Seems this came up before but I don't see it. Maybe I'm remembering something else - the discussion of whether the More items should appear in search results? See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/11113.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the palette's More area with NVDA or Narrator on Windows, following the listed steps, and compare the behavior with Orca. Trace the palette and More controls from that interaction; done means the controls and items are announced while navigating, without breaking the existing palette behavior.
