Accessibility issue with screen reader and vscode keep saying name of project and WSL env (program title bar value) #221470

Open dstpierre opened 1 month ago

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No yes

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Search by Name CTRL+P

or

  1. Typing a function and open paren so the intellisence / function argument appear abc( Both triggers the same very verbose info which is not required as we're already in the app.

The screen reader will say:

[File name] - [Project name] - WLS Ubuntu 20.04 - Visual Srudio Code - Document

And than will repeat that a second time with "Application" instead of "Document".

And finally "Search file by name".

It's the same for the function arguments, it's saying all of this twice before finally starting to announce the arguments.

Basically the screen reader says the same as when the vscode application gets the main OS focus with the following difference:

When I ALT+TAB to vscode or return from a different virtual desktop it will say all info, but instead of "Document" will say "Desktop 2" and repeat with the "Application"

When ALT-Tabing I'm all good / can live with what the screen reader is saying.

But for CTRL+P and also for intellisence, is there a way to remove this long and superflus info?

Because I either have to wait to get the function arguments or the confirmation that CTRL+P is open, and if I hit a key to skip, I than need to redo the operation.

Thank you.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.91.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

JFYI, same behavior with the latest 1.91.1 version.
