Describe the bug

Narrator users get no audible feedback to confirm their selection. This feels particularly problematic because selecting a nav item likely results in a page navigation and a significant change to the app content. Sighted users get visual feedback that something happened but blind users are left, so to speak, in the dark.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Turn on Narrator and open Xaml Controls Gallery
  2. Move focus to Basic Input item
  3. Press Space or Enter to active it

Expected behavior

User hears audible feedback along the lines of "Basic Input, 3 of 14, selected, expanded". This may be unnecessary verbose and simply announcing "selected" may suffice.

I think we need to raise a UIA Selection event https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winauto/uiauto-implementingselectionitem

This does not repro with the latest debug build of XCG and the MUXControlsTestApp. I think this was fixed with #2692 but just not serviced to the store version of the XCG.

Checked the issue still exists in the latest 1.2.20.0 version

Steps to reproduce the bug:
Turn on Narrator and open Xaml Controls Gallery
Move focus to the bottom Settings item
Press Space or Enter to active it

Expected behavior:
User hears audible feedback along the lines of "Settings, 1 of 1, selected".

Actual behavior:
Narrator does not announce feedback, and focus goes to "Back" button instead

Seems to work fine in the Left Expanded mode. I do notice that in the minimal mode the pane is collapsed on invocation causing narrator to move to a different element and not reading the settings selection, is that what you are referring to?
