Bug description
When in the Mixer panel, Arrowing Up/Down to the volume faders does not announce a label for the control.
When trying to adjust the fader and pan controls, speech may just announce "blank" as you press Arrow Left/Right.
The Mute and Solo controls are announced by speech as radio buttons. This implies they are a pair of mutually exclusive options. In fact, they behave (as on a hardware mixer) as independent check boxes.
Steps to reproduce
- Create or open a score.
- Open the Mixer panel.
- Press Tab to navigate to the desired mixer channel controls.
- Arrow Down until you reach the volume fader.
Expected output: Speech says "Volume: 0 (dB) 100%"
Actual behaviour: Speech says "0 Slider 83"
This is very confusing output.
- Create or open a score.
- Open the Mixer panel.
- Press Tab to navigate to the desired mixer channel controls.
- Arrow Down until you reach the Pan or Volume fader.
- Adjust the value with Left/Right arrows.
Expected output: speech should announce the new value.
(it occasionally might).
Actual behaviour: speech says "blank".
