Description
The Virtualbox GUI is very poorly accessible in Windows using the JAWS screen-reader. There are two major problems here.
- Some controls do not ever have associated text spoken (most tabs and any message on a MessageBox, probably others as well).
- Textual information is not written to the video driver in a way that it can be read by JAWS using the JAWS cursor (which intercepts text using a video intercept driver).
