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

[Shashidhara Veerabhadraiah]

Hi Krishna, Thanks for your review.

That was really a good observation and as you rightly said, some visual cue needs to be there around the progress bar, else it does look lost.

Thanks and regards,
Shashi

Hi Shashi,

The fix looks good to me. Regarding the decision of placing the line “setFocusable(true)” in the constructor of ProgressBar, I think that is a good decision since the Swing users needn’t explicitly make that call to make it accessible.

There is one problem though: 
The focus is not shown on the progress bar, and at that point, it feels like the focus is lost and may lead to some confusion.
I think it would be good if we can render a focus rect around the progress bar to let users know that it is in focus, which ofcourse can be addressed separately.

Thanks,
Krishna
