NVDA not detecting objects with comments in PowerPoint for Office 365 as comments communicated via AnnotationObject UIA property #11662

Open SMTestGH opened 4 years ago

SMTestGH commented 4 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

Open PowerPoint desktop application Select "blank presentation" Tab to an object on the default slide Press shift+f10 to open a context menu Select "New comment" Type some filler text and press ctrl+enter to submit comment Press F6 until focus lands back on "slide 1" Tab again to the object with a comment

Actual behavior:

NVDA does not announce that the object has a comment

Expected behavior:

NVDA should listen for the AnnotationObject UIA property to report that an object has a comment. This is the new attribute that PowerPoint is leveraging to communicate that objects have comments on them.
