Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
With NVDA running go to:
Edit, Preferences and on the general Tab arrow down to the check for language updates button. Press enter.
If a dialogue appears saying there is an update when you press the download button nothing seems to happen. The screen reader gives no verbal feedback to say it is downloading or installing the update or when it is complete.
The user is left thinking nothing is happening, but navigation does seem to freeze for a few seconds.
I am still unsure if the button worked and gave no speech or if it didn't activate as when I had someone sighted come and click the button with the mouse they said they saw some text that said downloading and then the window disappeared same as it had for me previously. So probably just lack of speech and I had done it, but maybe someone could test the download button is fully keyboard accessible.
