Windows Terminal version

Windows Terminal 1.14.1962.0

Windows build number

Windows 10 21H2 (64-bit) build 19044.1826

Other Software

None (in the settings section of Terminal).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start narrator with Control+Windows+Enter
  2. Open Windows Terminal
  3. Open settings with control+,
  4. Tab 3 times.

Expected Behavior

The button should have an accessibility label, so I can tell what its intended to do.

Actual Behavior

I just hear "button", or "button 1 of1", depending on which screen reader I use.

Is what you're encountering basically the same as #13020/?

Hi @zadjii-msft,
No, I do not have the issue outlined in #13020. In fact, I'm not able to reproduce it. My focus gets landed on the open/close navigation button when first opening preferences. This is honestly a fairly small issue. The button next to the open settings.json file doesn't have an accessibility label, so I don't know what it is. I can tab to it, but it just doesn't have a name that my screen reader can see.
