2852: Accessibility issue with reviewboard

kd7***@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.)
I really notice problems on the my dashboard.  The control that allows you to change to admin and/or to logout etc is not readable when using a screenreader.

What version are you running? 1.7.0.1


What's the URL of the page containing the problem? xxxx/dashboard


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log in to your dashboard.
2.  Try to identify the control to change to admin or to logout, get to it via tab or arrow keys, have the screenreader recognize it.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?  I would expect to see/hear either admin or logout or a coombobox or list letting me choose one of these.  None of which occurs.


What operating system are you using? What browser?  Ubuntu 12.04 firefox


Please provide any additional information below.

There are other places where I think I am not seeing things like dropdown boxes for selecting reviewers.  You should at the very least be checking all screens to be sure that you can access all controls without using a mouse i.e using either arrow keys or the tab key or both.  All images should have proper labels or alt tags.  If you really want to test acccessibility you can run a scree reader shile testing.  Orca is free and available for linus and nvda is free open source and available for windows.  Mac of course comes with outspoken and it should already be on it.
