Perhaps .. if it is an easy fix but I do not know the specifics and
the evaluator of that bug wrote<br>
"<span style="caret-color: rgb(23, 43, 77); color: rgb(23, 43, 77); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;">the
magnifier cannot receive PropertyChangeEvents from Swing. This is
a limitation in the Window magnifier. <br>
The Windows magnifier could be modified by Microsoft to receive
such events but the work would need to be done by Microsoft."<br>
<br>
then went on to add that other magnifiers do work ..<br>
</span><font size="2"><span style="caret-color: rgb(23, 43, 77); color: rgb(23, 43, 77); font-family: "DejaVu Sans", sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;"><br>
I also don't know how tied in this would be to implementing
support for the Windows Accessibility API.<br>
<br>
Swing apps today use something called JavaAccessBridge and there
are screen readers out there that support it.<br>
<br>
It would be good to have another look at this specific issue,
but I can't make any promises.<br>
