<p class="MsoNormal">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:#172b4d;background:white">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><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#172b4d;background:white"><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>
