, the bug is assigned to us from Accessibility team but I believe root cause is coming from vs code.
I believe this is as designed behavior by Narrator. Narrator simply decides to not read out the when the item is unchecked. I see you nicely set the do you face the same issue with NVDA? How about if you go the the breakpoints view and you uncheck a breakpoint?
, yes, NVDA also doesn't read "unchecked" status, but there is no problem on break points. It reads that "breakpoint is " or "breakpoint is removed".
thanks. I just checked this and I believe that you do not put for unchecked items in the custom menu. Can you please double check this?

Thanks
I think what's happening is that when the menu item is not checked, we set the value to but we also set the role to which probably tells the screen reader that is not important. I don't think we know if an action is toggleable, we just know if it is checked. I will have to update the action to be aware that it is unchecked an can be checked to label it properly
good point. They should have a role "checkbox" if they can be checked off. We do the same for the breakpoints and the list should support this. Just an example here's how I do it for breakpoints
Note that as long as at least one state is shown (preferrably checked), then not necessary to show the other, although would be nice to confirm it's a boolean. explorer view output view search view run view SCM CTRL view debug console terminal word wrap Views / modes that do report checked status: minimap show breadcrumbs render whitespace render control characters
Can't seem to edit comments here... All the views mentioned in previous comment refer to entries in the global view menu.
thanks. I think we have found the root cause of the issue and we plan to look into it. let me know if I can help here.
ok I looked at the code and now I understand fully what you meant, you need to know if an action is as you said. I have just verified with NVDA that this would indeed fix the issue, so we need to set only for items that are checkable.
Hi , the accessibility team wants us to give fix date estimate on this ? Do you have an approx.. estimate when would it be fixed ?
Could you please help us with the estimate date to fix this issue
This is currently assigned to September which means we would like to fix it in September. Though it might get moved to October. So rough estimate: in the next couple of months.
