Description

Pre-submission Checks
  • I checked for similar issues, but could not find any. I also checked the closed issues. I could not contribute additional information to any existing issue.

Describe the bug

I am blind and use the NVDA screenreader. For some reason I got logged out from my user account (can't tell if it happened automatically or I did it somehow accidentally). As soon as that happened, the tray icon changed from being labeled "ownCloud: Success" to an unlabelled item, which is very bad to handle.

Expected behavior

The tray icon should still have a label when the user account is logged out, something like ownCloud: logged out instead of Success could be very helpful.

Steps to reproduce the issue
  1. Click on the ownCloud tray icon to open the window
  2. Use spacebar to activate the button that's labeled user account (I had to use space, enter didn't work)
  3. Arrow down to log out
  4. See the label changing from ownCloud: success to an unlabelled tray icon

Research direction

Start by reproducing the logout flow on Windows 10 with NVDA, following the issue's keyboard steps, and inspect where the tray icon label changes from "ownCloud: Success". Done means the tray icon remains labeled with a meaningful logged-out status instead of becoming unlabelled.
