In Internet Explorer (version 11.0 at present, but it happened in older versions as well), labels of buttons are not reported by NVDA's mouse tracking functionality, when the user points the mouse cursor over them.
Steps to reproduce it:
Enable NVDA's mouse tracking, if it is not already enabled.
Open Internet Explorer and go to a webpage containing buttons. The "New Ticket..." page in the NVDA Community site will do the job.
Move the mouse cursor over a button on the page. The "Preview" button should do the job.
'''Actual results:''' NVDA does not read the label of the button.
'''Expected results:''' NVDA should read the label of the button.
'''NOTES:'''
This behavior may occur for other objects in the webpages in Internet Explorer, for example the links for text formating over the "Description" field on the "New..." page on this site and probably others as well.
This does not occur in Mozilla Firefox. Can't tell about Chrome, since I don't use it.
Test environment:
Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit.
Browser: Internet Explorer 11.00.9600.16384.
NVDA versions: next-10671,9735db1; 2014.2 (and probably older versions as well).

In [a6bf196]:
MSHTML NVDAObject's basicText property, if HTMLNode.innerText is empty, fall back to the default NVDAObject basicText implementation. This allows mouse tracking to pick up reasonable labels for non-container elements (such as buttons). Re #4173
Eventually we want to consider a better iimplementation that may use screenExplorer, but this solves this issue at least.

Yes, this seams to be fixed with latest "next" snapshot. I don't know if the inaccurate reading with the mouse tracking with a zoom level of the page set to something different than 100% is related to this ticket or to #3494, but now NVDA can read accurately the text on the page with the mouse tracking, even with zoom different from 100%.
