<Swing Dev> [14] RFR : JDK-4949105 : Access Bridge lacks html tags parsing

Fri Oct 18 19:08:28 UTC 2019

Hi Sergey,
	Behavior on mac,
	Without fix:
	html text is passed to VoiceOver without parsing.
	Even a simple html text like <html><body><b>Hello</b></body></html> is read as-is '<html><body><b>Hello</b></body></html>'

	With fix:
	It fixes the above issue.
	Parsed html text is passed to VoiceOver.
	html text like <html><body><b>Hello</b></body></html> is read as 'Hello'

Regards,
Ambarish

Hi, Ambarish.

Can you please check how it works on macOS when VoiceOver is ON.
