Re: [External Sender] NVDA not announcing the Legend tag

The only thing I was able to find on the web was a bug in NVDA. If an input
field is used before the buttons, then NVDA goes into forms mode and speaks
the legend. If it is in browse mode, it won't honor it and read the legend.

It doesn't announce at all? What about if you switch out of forms mode? I
wonder if it's not announcing because it contains buttons instead of a
group?
