Unable to read the name of xaml text objects in braille without using the report navigator object command
Steps to reproduce:
- open for example notepad in windows 11
- use object navigation to navigate to the text labeled zoom on the status bar
- try to scroll the braille display back to read the objects name instead of the exposed text
Actual behavior:
The braille display doesn't scroll back. This only happens if you are at the beginning of the text. The objects NVDAObject region appears in the console, if you open it with NVDA+ctrl+Z and type "brlRegions" however
Expected behavior:
The braille display scrolls back as usual

Other questions
Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?
yes
Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.
in 2023.3 and earlier, only the name is shown in braille, not the text. This behavior was fixed by pr #15731, and is unrelated to this, as it works great in other places.
If NVDA add-ons are disabled, is your problem still occurring?
yes
Does the issue still occur after you run the COM Registration Fixing Tool in NVDA's tools menu?
yes
This is an issue with Windows, the zoom is not correctly exposed. This needs to be reported to microsoft.
@seanbudd the problem is that you can't scroll the braille display back to read the name of those types of objects, not that the "zoom" object in notepad isn't exposed correctly
Windows version: n/a
please list the windows version you are using when reporting an issue with the Windows GUI. In general, your windows version is never N/A
Can you please also upload a log with Input/Output open while using the braille display
