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

[Philip Race]

I'll partly answer my own question in so far as that if it doesn't have 
focus
it probably isn't something that the AT would know is the component to 
be reading out ...
but I expect it still should not be editable - please confirm this - and
why is this a Mac-specific issue ?
