[dash] result group headers do not give updated description

This is likely due to Qt's accessibility framework not updating the value of Accessible.name when its bound to another property. For example:

Item {
    property string test
    Accessible.name: test
}

If the value of 'test' changes Accessible.name does not seem to be updated.

For the same reason the global search results are not readable and for the same reason status of apps in launcher is not up to date.

I wonder how related it is to http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qaccessible.html#updateAccessibility - possibly the Accessible element should call updateAccessibility on itself whenever its properties are changed.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Nope, it seems that's being done - https://qt.gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/accessibility/blobs/4.7-a11y/src/declarative/accessible/qdeclarativeaccessible_p.h#line247

My theory is that the accessibility bridge qt-at-spi is cacheing the first accessibility values it gets. But these values are not being notified of an update, or the library isn't able to update them.

I'm trying to determine if QSpiAccessible::accessibleEvent is being called with NameChanged

I'm also not convinced that the Accessibility.name values are being set at all from the GridView in TileVertical.qml!

Already onto it, we're missing https://qt.gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/accessibility/commit/205f4abb9b980854e93ed58f4c2f245f63fe8116
