Description
@isidorn: Screen readers have a difficult time navigating the settings window. It appears that the actual settings are contained in a continuously scrolling panel. There is no way for a screen reader user to scroll down the list unless he or she presses TAB to cycle through all of the settings. This is slow and not very effective.
- vscode version: 1.44 (Insider's)
- OS Version: Windows 10 (1909), Ubuntu 20.04
Steps to Reproduce:
- Start JAWS or NVDA if on Windows, or Orca if in Linux.
- Start vscode Insider's.
- Press ctrl+, (comma) to open settings.
- Choose a category from the settings tree. Commonly used is a good option because it is a long list of settings.
- Use screen reader navigation to review the settings panel.
Actual results: Settings are hidden from screen reader view and are often overlooked by some users.
Expected results: Screen reader users can navigate each setting category without having to scroll the screen to reveal settings hidden from view.
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
