Subject: NVDA not reading fieldset grouping for checkboxes when...
No previous message | Next message →

Hi Everyone,

NVDA is not reading the grouping when TAB is used to enter into fieldset
from a link/button. As per my analysis, it is not changing reading mode to
'form/focus mode' from 'browse/document mode'.
I read the same scenario after manually changing the mode using
INSERT+SPACE and then it started reading correctly.
This is working fine with JAWS though. Please let me know if anyone
experienced a similar issue. If it is a genuine bug then any communication
with NV Access would also help.

Thanks & Regards
PRATIK ROY

This is an old NVDA bug (3327) that has not been fixed:
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3321

NVDA only reads group labels in application mode, but checkboxes do
not trigger application mode.
If you put a text input of radio buttons in there, NVDA would start
eading the legend when you tab to those.
Ultimately this is an NVDA bug and NVDA needs to provide a fix.
You could use aria-describedby to associate the first checkvbox in the
group with the legend as a workaround.

A fix for this problem is incubating in the NVDA development snapshots. If all goes well, I suspect the fix will show up in the NVDA 2017-4 public release.

Yay! I love bugs that get fixed, which is why NVDA is so exciting.

zomg yes!

This bug has caused some confusion in some of our apps when QA switched
from testing a form in JAWS to testing in NVDA.

great to hear
