Description
When navigating in the virtual machine shut down screen, none of the elements can be announced by screen reader. All of the elements are announced as "Unknown". Steps to reproduce:
- Launch NVDA. You can get it from:
- Launch virtual box and launch virtual machine in it.
- When the virtual machine is launched, press right CTRL+q key combination.
You will here: close virtual machine.
- Tab between elements.
You will here "Unknown". Expected result: Screen reader should announce the element's name, role and value. For example: Save button Shut down button. Actual result: Screen reader doesn't announce any elements, it keeps saying "Unknown" while tabbing, so it is impossible to shut down the virtual machine using the screen reader.
