Checklist

  • I have used the search function to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report.
  • I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.

App

Thunderbird for Android

App version

8.0b5

Where did you get the app from?

Google Play

Android version

14

Device model

Pixel 5

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Thunderbird.
  2. Ensure that "Show contact pictures" is enabled in Settings -> General Settings -> Display
  3. Go to a mail folder.
  4. Turn on the TalkBack screen reader.
  5. Swipe to one of the contact pictures next to an email message.

Expected behavior

  • Contact picture is announced by TalkBack as a check box or toggle button, because it can be toggled and added to a selection, in order to perform actions on multiple messages, such as move, copy, add star, or mark as spam.
  • TalkBack announces the checked or pressed state of the control.

Actual behavior

  • Contact picture is announced by TalkBack as "Unlabeled. Double tap to activate," so the user does not know what tapping will do or even what it looks like.
  • TalkBack does not announce whether the current email is part of the selection or not.
