[Accessibility, a11y] Screen reader isn't reading quick pick title field

VS Code Version: 1.67.1

Operating System: Windows 11

Screen Reader: NVDA

Extensions Installed: Put together an extension to quickly demo the bare VS Code UI features without our normal SDK and extension wrappers. “a11y-kit” (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MicroFish.accessibility-testkit)

Repro Steps:

1. Install a11y-kit from VS Code Marketplace
2. Open command palette and run a11y-kit’s menu command
3. Next, select: “Quick Picks: Show Quick Picks - Single” and observe.

Expected: When entering the quick pick selection screen, the title should be read by the screen reader so that the user understands the context of the selection environment.

Actual: Certain other descriptors are picked up and read, but not the “Quick Pick Placeholder Title”.

Note: A user posted an issue on one of our extensions explaining that the title is picked up on JAWS but not NVDA. I have only verified this on VoiceOver and NVDA - neither screen reader reads the title as far as I can tell.

Thank you

@MicroFish91 your a11y-kit does not work for vscode.dev. Can you please transition it to a web extension https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/web-extensions

I think you do not depend on any node api so it might be just that you declare it as a web extension.

@TylerLeonhardt it is up to the screen reader to decide if it is read. If the title is now append when it gets read then we are good. Let’s close and give @MicroFish91 time to verify. I can also bring it up with the screen reader folk if needed.
