Checkbox state not reported by screen readers when importing/exporting prefs #128

Filing this here, but it's probably destined for Cockos rather than one to fix via OSARA.

From the changelog: v5.51 - September 30 2017

Configuration import/export: allow toggling checkbox state with space key

This was a helpful ux change, but the state of each item isn't reported by screen readers yet.

To reproduce, go to Preferences / General, then hit either Import or Export.

Jamie, when you get a sec, can you pass this along to Justin?

I actually don't understand why this isn't working already. From what I can see, REAPER is doing everything it's supposed to do (technical: using the LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES style and using the appropriate state images). The only thing I can think is that this has something to do with the version of the SysListView32 control being used. I'll contact Cockos and see if we can figure anything out, but this is pretty odd.
