Hi,
First of a two-part issue set on Windows 11 22H2 and mouse/touch:
Background:
As pointed out in #13506, some parts of Windows 11 interface cannot be interacted with using mouse and/or touch interaction, with the aforementioned issue dealing with taskbar. It turns out with the introductino of Windows 11 2022 Update 9Version 22H2), more changes were made to the interface such that mouse and/or touch interaction no longer works properly. The latest of this is Open With dialog, with an upcoming change to system tray's overflow list that will be introduced to users soon (next issue), both powered by redesigned UI toolkit.
Steps to reproduce:
Prerequisites: Windows 11 22H2, NVDA 2022.2 or later (preferably 2022.4 and alpha):
- Enable mouse mouse tracking (NVDA+M) and report mouse (review cursor settings panel).
- Open NVDA user configuration folder.
- Try opening a file that Windows doesn't know how to open, say a pickle file.
Actual behavior:
When moving the mouse to Open With dialog, NVDA reports "DesktopWindowXamlSource" instead of announcing the dialog content, no such announcement on touchscreen interaction.
Expected behavior:
NVDA announces Open With dialog content via mouse and/or touch navigation.
