Perhaps .. if it is an easy fix but I do not know the specifics and
the evaluator of that bug wrote<br>
"<span style="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;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration:none;display:inline;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="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;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration:none;display:inline;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>
