Kleopatra: Make information shown in pop-ups accessible
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In Kleopatra we use What's This pop-ups (and similar pop-ups?) in a few places that are triggered with a button (e.g. in the Certify Certificate dialog) or a link embedded in a text label (e.g. in the Delete Certificates dialog). These pop-ups are not accessible for screen readers.

Either we make them accessible or we come up with another accessible solution for showing additional information.

Event Timeline

ikloecker created this task.

The tool tip pop-ups are now read out by orca (if reading out tool tips is enabled; it's disabled by default).

It's possible that the tool tips are now read out twice by screen readers on Windows. A comment in the code suggests that this is the case at least for MS Narrator. This needs to be tested on Windows.
