Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
- With NVDA enabled navigate to Edit>Preferences.
- Arrow through the list of categories; General, Appearance, Canvas, etc. Notice that after each one the screen reader says "Not Selected" even though it clearly is selected as when you tab forward you are in the dialogue for that category.
There is a similar issue with things saying unselected in other places such as instrument lists #19927.
