    Description

      To understand how / why different screenreaders have different problems when working with QT, I added code to the iaccessible2.cpp file, specifically, I modified QueryInterface function to add a QWarning to all of the functions that had no code, or did nothing, and added a warning to the catch-all.

      For Example:

      iaccessible2.cpp
              } else {
             qWarning("QWindowsIA2Accessible::QueryInterface: unsupported id: {%08X-%04X-%04X-%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X} received",
                      id.Data1, id.Data2, id.Data3,
                      id.Data4[0], id.Data4[1], id.Data4[2], id.Data4[3],
                      id.Data4[4], id.Data4[5], id.Data4[6], id.Data4[7]);
        }
        if (*iface) {
            AddRef();

      I don't know how to interpret these missing features, but in my digging to find out, I noticed that there is reference to the unsupported IDs ending in 00046 here, that is probably relevant - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eldar/archive/2006/02/28/540981.aspx

      I'm not sure of the context of the messages is important - there were thousands of them, each time you accessed the controls - if it is, please let me know and I'll try to get something more specific.

      So I'm raising this bug report to help to explan that different screen-readers need different parts of QT, which is probably why they have different problems, and also to raise the issue of the missing functions themselves.
