[Bug 1941003] [NEW] Installer inaccessible to Orca screen reader

[Dave Hunt]

Public bug reported:

In Impish (canary), when attempting to use the installer with the Orca
screen reader for accessibility,  Orca cannot determine the states or
roles of the form controls, and they all appear as 'grayed'. When I
select an item, no feedback is given.  To reproduce:  start the Orca
screen reader, on the live system, and select "install" option.  Move
among the locale selector. Orca will read the language name and add
"frame grayed". Select one by hitting the space bar on it. Orca should
read "selected", but it remains silent.  When you tab among the options,
you'll eventually hear that you are on the 'next' button, yet, it, too,
will be described as "grayed".  The behavior described here will appear
on all pages of the installer wizard.
