Add accessible labels for edit boxes
Posted: 2021-03-10, 10:34 UTC
Currently screenreaders do not read labels for some of the TC's edit boxes, the prime example being the FTP dialog.
Here is how my screenreader reads it
FTP: connection details
Text
Text
SSL/TLS CheckButton UnChecked
Anonymous login (e-mail address as password) Button Alt+a
&Anonymous login (e-mail address as password) Text
Text Protected
Use master password to protect the password CheckButton UnChecked Alt+r
Use maste&r password to protect the password Text
Text
>> Button
Use passive mode for transfers (like a WWW browser) CheckButton UnChecked Alt+w
Use firewall (proxy server) CheckButton UnChecked Alt+f
Advanced -> Button
OK Button
Cancel Button
Help Button
As you can see, there are "Text" and "text protected" controls which have no label.
