IJ33945: JAWS READS LIST TAB INFORMATION AS "DESCRIPTION COLUMN 2 ROW 2 202024 LINK"

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  JAWS reads List tab information as "Description column 2 row 2
  202024 Link"
  
  PROBLEM:
  JAWS is reading application information hidden behind the
  dialog, also the Header controls. This should be inaccessible
  to assistive technology when the dialog is active.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  0. First of all, ensure the screen-reader flag is set in their
  User record.
  1. In the Users application, open a user record.
  2. In the User Settings section, select the Use Screen Reader
  check box.
  3. Save your changes.
  4. Click on Profile > Default Information icon
  5. Ensure the "Side Navigation Menu" is set to Hide
  6. Exit Maximo
  7. Ensure JAWS is running and reopen Maximo
  8. Log into Maximo, Start Center is displayed
  9. Navigate to Go To -> Assets -> Assets, Assets application is
  displayed
  10. Select Asset field and press ENTER to populate data in List
  tab
  11. Navigate to first entry in Asset table
  12. First asset is selected, but JAWS reads this information as
  "Description column 2 row 2 202024 Link"
  
  Note: The asset number will vary based on environment. The
  table headers aren't correctly aligning here.
  The number should be read as "Asset" instead of "Description"
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:
  JAWS reads this information as "Description column 2 row 2
  202024 Link"
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  JAWS reads this information as the column header information
