[Qt-interest] Doubt about parent-child hierarchy accessibilty issue

[Satam, Surabhi]

-           We need the narrator (MS narrator in this case) to read aloud the name of a widget (which is set in the accessibleName and accessibleDescription property, either through code or through Qt Designer Property Editor). Instead the narrator also reads out the entire hierarchy of widgets(i.e the parent/containers that hold this child widget). In our case, we have a button (say X, accessibleName being set to ABC), which is embedded in parent widgets (2 frames - say Y and Z, accessible names being set to " " - empty QStrings). On switching on the narrator, when button X gets the focus, the narrator reads aloud - "ABC button pane pane". (Ideal case: "ABC button").

On much investigation, we figured out that "pane pane" is narrated out because it considers the parent widget hierarchy as well, though ideally focus is on the button X(child) and not on the frames(Y/Z - parents/containers). This problem is occurring whenever the child widget gains focus.
