Hi,
When you navigate desktop via object navigation or tab through the shell window, NVDA announces Start button as a list.
STR:
- Press Windows +M to minimize all windows.
- Press TAB to go to Start button.
Expected: NVDA announces "Start button".
Actual: In Windows 8.1 and 10, NVDA says, "Start list selected".
Technical: Thankfully, window class name is "Start", which is unique among Windows Explorer objects. Somehow, IAccessible thinks it is a list when documentation clearly says it is a button. This is for Windows 8.1 and 10 (likely as a result of removal of Start button in Windows 8). Tweaking this with NVDAObject_init solves the problem.
Thanks.
