Description
The problem
In the 3.4.9 update of GitHub Desktop, group position announcements (e.g., "1 of 10") are no longer provided when navigating the list of commits. This issue significantly affects accessibility for blind users relying on screen readers to understand their position in the list.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open GitHub Desktop version 3.4.9.
- Navigate to the list of commits using a screen reader.
- Listen for group position announcements (e.g., "1 of 10").
Expected Result
The screen reader announces the group position for each commit, such as "1 of 10," "2 of 10," etc.
Actual Result
The group position announcements are missing, leaving users unaware of their position in the list.
Impact
This bug disrupts the workflow of blind programmers and users by removing essential navigation feedback, making it difficult to manage commits effectively.
Environment
- GitHub Desktop Version: 3.4.9
- OS: Windows 10
- Screen Reader: both JAWS and NVDA
Additional Notes
This issue did not exist in previous versions and seems to have been introduced in the 3.4.9 update.
Please investigate and resolve this accessibility issue at the earliest, as it has a significant impact on blind users.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
