Str:

  1. In IE, open http://community.nvda-project.org/query
  2. Press control+end.
  3. Press shift+e.
  • Expected: The label "Max items per page" should be reported.
  • Actual: The field is reported as if it is unlabelled.

Regression introduced in NVDA 2014.2, perhaps #1354.
Blocking #4238

Regression caused by 8ec0426 for #1195. I neglected to realise that HTML labels weren't included in my new checks for name from author.

In [ddec509]:

In browse mode in Internet Explorer and other MSHTML controls, using single letter navigation to move to editable text fields again reports the label in many cases where it didn't (specifically, where HTML label elements are used).

The new name from author checks used to determine whether to add the name attribute introduced in #1195 weren't taking HTML label elements into account. There's no efficient way to get the HTML label element for a control, so we have to specifically handle each control with which a label might be associated.
