I am using the latest stable version of Skype.#
Steps to reproduce
Launch Skype (latest stable version).
Choose a contact and tab around.
On pressing Tab after the Avatar button:
Expected Result: NVDA should announce 'Add {variable: selected contact's name} to Favourites button'
Actual Result: NVDA announces '{variable: selected contact's name} text pause Add {variable: selected contact's name} to Favourites button'
Press Tab again and NVDA says '{variable: selected contact's name} link' as expected.
Press Shift tab and:
Expected Result: NVDA will act wrongly as before and say '{variable: selected contact's name} text pause {variable: selected contact's name} Add to Favourites button'
Actual Result: NVDA behaves as expected this time by saying 'Add {variable: selected contact's name} to Favourites button'
Blocking #4722

Those two controls are actually inside the label for the contact. The label is sort of like a grouping, except Skype have exposed it as a piece of text instead of a grouping. NVDA only reads containers when you enter them, which is why it doesn't read it when you shift+tab back.

That said, this label is pretty redundant, since the control names already include the contact name. I really wish Skype accessibility weren't so ugly. :(
Changes:
Changed title from "NVDA announces the add {variable: selected contact name} to favourites button strangely or rather differently in two cases/situations" to "Ignore static text parent of add to favorites button and profile link"
