Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Set up a score with an instrument, say a flute.
- Select Instruments radio button from the toolbar: "Palettes, Instruments, Properties"
- Tab and Arrow to the list of instruments and press Space on "Flute". (Note: This still says unselected see issue #19927.)
- Arrow (Right?) to Settings button. - note it would appear Up/Down arrows don't work here which is slightly unusual.
- Press Settings.
- Arrow to the name, abbreviation and Replace button.
- Press Replace.
- Use Tab and Arrows to change the flute to an oboe.
...
Notice that if using NVDA once settings has been pressed nothing more reads from that point. using arrow keys, tab, etc gets no speech output. This does work with JAWS.
