On Windows 7 the name is "Clock", same as the role. On Windows 10 the name equals the value. Both situations cause repeated announcements in NVDA. On Windows XP the clock has no value and the name only contains the time. Use this for its value since that is what is used on newer versions of Windows. re nvaccess#4364
@derekriemer NVDA is leaving support for Windows XP. Not version 2014.2 though, but 2017.4. :) |
Which operating systems does this affect? Not Win10 and probably not Win8.1 either. |
Based on the ticket body and some of my own testing coupled with your assertion that this does not affect Windows 10, below is a compilation of how the Clock icon fairs on different Windows versions:

Someone can probably get the fix from my "RTL marks" PR. I removed it from there because it wasn't related to the issue at hand, but it's still in the commit history. |
I think @dkager is referring to this commit: 9293131. Anyone who wishes to look into fixing this issue, should consider how they will have it tested across the various versions of windows, and report the results of this testing in the PR. Given the availability of a reference implementation, I will label this with |
On some versions of Windows, the name of the clock icon is present in the value of the clock system tray icon. When this is the case, the name attribute is overridden so that it is not reported twice. Fixes #4364

Steps to reproduce
Press Windows + B to go to the System Tray.
Press left arrow (on my machine a single left arrow is enough but maybe on other machines navigating to the cock icon may differ).
Actual Result = clock cock other information
Expected Result = clock other information
Why does NVDA read clock clock twice?
