Description

Environment Details:
VSCode Version : 1.24.1
OS Version : Win10

Additional Details:
MAS Violated : MAS 1.3.1
ScreenReader Versions : NVDA2018.1.1

Repro Steps:

  1. Launch VS Code while NVDA is ON.
  2. Navigate to Settings icon in Activity Bar->Press Enter->Select "Settings" from dropdown.
  3. Read all the lists,list items,buttons,links present on the screen while navigating using "Tab" key.

Actual:
NVDA reads the word "Clickable" each list,listitem,buttons i.e.(Commonly Used,Editor,Workbench………..etc)

Expected:
NVDA should only read the name of the control along with relevant state,value and role. It should not read "Clickable" for every control present on the screen.

Recommendations:
Refer below link which is repository of bug fixes code snippets:
https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/teams/msenable/mas/pages/browse-fixes.aspx

User Impact:
The user will not be able to get clarity about control's name,state,role,value and other important info if screenreader reads "clickable" after each word it reads.
