Accessibility issues in beta version 6 #12026
Description
Activity
Hey @fcnjd - the upcoming major version 6 of the desktop client already got a lot of accessibility improvements.
Would you mind checking out the release candidate and test it? THX a lot!Hey @DeepDiver1975 ,
thank you very much for your quick reply. I just tested the RC Testpilot version (it's great that you built it so it won't get in conflict with the existing one).
I'm very happy to hear that you're making accessibility improvements, actually the tray icon label problem that I described now seems fixed. However, I'm very sorry to tell you about some other findings I had now after updating:- When adding an account, the button to browse for the storage folder is unlabelled.
- After entering the server URL and selecting next, I'm supposed to press the button to open login in browser or to copy the URL. Since the update, NVDA just says grouping instead of the label (or starts speaking the label but is quickly interrupted by grouping). Wouldn't be a big problem for me, but my Braille display shows the label neither, making it very hard to find that button (I had to use OCR). This problem wasn't present in the previous version.
- That very same grouping problem exists in the main Owncloud window after logging in, e.g. on the button to add an account, button to exit settings etc.
- Previously, the different window elements, like activity, settings or the main tab labeled with my account name were checkboxes, and they were working as expected. Now they've changed to tabs (which is very fine so far), but all of them show as selected, which is obviously not the case.
I'm sorry that I have to tell this, but would be very happy if you could find ways to improve that. Thank you for your efforts!

- changed the title
[-]Tray icon label disappears when user account is logged off[/-][+]Accessibility issues in beta version 6[/+]on Feb 5, 2025 As I don't think that this issue should get closed already, I'll now keep it open - but changed the title accordingly, so that the findings from my previous post won't get lost. I'd be very happy if they could get addressed one day in the future.

Pre-submission Checks
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.
