Description

@fernando-jose-silva

Steps to reproduce:

download the new tabbed notepad.
now using the menu create a new tab
now switch between tabs with ctrl+tabe

Actual behavior:

nvda announces blank edition text editor

Expected behavior:

Before writing what I want, I would like to talk about my discoveries, sorry if it doesn't make sense.
I typed a different word into the first line of text on each tab.
guide example 1
Fernando
guide 2
silva
using object navigation I found the list of tabs and within this list there was each tab named with what was written in the first line of text.
Now I left the first line of text empty in tab 1
in the list of tabs tab 1 appears with the name of untitled
from what i understand if the first line of text is characters this text will be the title of the tab.
If the first line of text is empty, the tab will have an untitled title.
so my suggestion is:
when switching between tabs in notepad in this example by pressing ctrl+tab nvda should announce the title of the tab which will be what is typed in the first line.
But this doesn't work if the first line of the tabs is empty, so I suggest that nvda also announce the position of the tab within the list.
example
guide 1
first line
Fernando
guide 2
first line
empty
guide 3
first line
silva
when switching between tabs nvda would announce:
guide 1 of 3 fernando
guide 2 of 3 untitled
guide 3 of 3 silva
Tab name and tab count could also be announced by command nvda + t to read window name.
