Bug description
The state of toggle buttons in at least the notation, playback and note input toolbar panels (and possibly in other places--further testing is required) are not reported by Windows screen readers. More testing is required to determine whether this behavior occurs on macOS and/or Linux.
Steps to reproduce
- Launch screen reader of choice (testing limited to Windows; further testing required on macOS and Linux).
- Launch MS 4.
- Create/open score.
- Focus any toolbar panel mentioned above.
- Select toggle button such as "metronome;" screen reader reports some form of "Metronome button Toggle metronome playback."
- Activate/deactivate button using enter. Notice that state has changed.
- Reselect toggle button using left then right arrow (or reverse); notice that screen reader reports the same text. In other words, it is not reporting the on/off or checked/unchecked state of the button.
