<Swing Dev> [12] JDK-7124285: Nothing heard from VoiceOver regarding the status of the progress bar

[shashidhara.veerabhadraiah at oracle.com]

Hi Sergey, I enabled 'All controls' access in the 
'Keyboard->Shortcuts->Accessibility' but still was not able to get the 
focus unto the progress bar and even with the short cut that you 
mentioned it always skipped the progress bar. The control would move 
from 'edit text box' to 'Start loading text' button. Even the bug 
description says to use the tab key to do this operation.

Only with this fix, I was able to select the progress bar control and 
otherwise not and that is true as per the focus traversal policy used 
for this control type.

Thanks and regards,

Shashi
