UI bug
Bug description
The "Add Palettes" window is not read by screen readers on Windows. I have only been able to focus the buttons contained within once, and have no idea how I did so. The window's contents are apparently always read on macOS and Linux as evidenced by both conversations in the MuseScore discord server and MuseScore Accessibility WhatsApp group.
Steps to reproduce
- Launch a Windows screen reader (Narrator or NVDA are easiest to obtain).
- Launch MS 4 and create/open a score.
- Use the keyboard to navigate to the "Add Palettes" button. Activate it with space/enter.
- Screen reader reports some form of text "MuseScore4 window."
- No further keyboard navigation is possible; escape key is only exit.
- If screen reader does allow navigation, I'd love to know how you did it.7
