Re: [orca-list] Accessibility improvements in GNOME 42

[Lukáš Tyrychtr <lukastyrychtr gmail com>]

Hello.

The separate labels issue in gnome-control-center should mostly be 
resolved, unfortunately by labeling the control and the list item, as 
the new design language uses list items with controls as the cildren, 
but at least, there should not be unlabeled controls.

Regards,

Lukáš
