Using Utorrent with a screen reader

[zuhairmahd]

For those of you that don't know what a screen reader is, it's a piece of software that reads the screen out loud using text to speech to someone who can't see. Utorrent has been quite accessible with screen readers, but a new issue started with the betas of 1.3 -- namely the status column is not being read at all. When I try to hear the status column, I get the same contents as the seaters column. Anything changed between 1.2 and 1.3 regarding that particular area of the interface?

Thanks.

With "seaters" column I presume you mean "Seeders" column? Only Ludde might be able to answer your question, since he knows what changed under the hood. :|

If you can - try draging (swap) the status to the left , see if it makes any difference.

Thanks for the replies and ideas. I've dragged the column around but to no avail. It seems to read whatever in the column to the right. I assume it's displaying normally -- so it has to be something under the hood. Does Lud read these forums?

Regards.
