    Description

      Repro steps:

      1. Using any version of Qt that supports UI Automation, create a dialog with a QListWidget
      2. Open a screen reader such as NVDA (https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda http://nvda.bhvd.de/ ) or Narrator
      3. Show the dialog
      4. Use Tab to focus the QListWidget
      5. Observe

      Expected results:

      • The screen reader reads the name of the QListWidget and the selected list item(s) (e.g. "Items list, Item 1, 1of 4, selected")
      • The screen reader's focus indicator is shown around the selected list item

      Actual results:

      • The screen reader reads nothing (this is true of both NVDA and Narrator)
      • The screen reader's focus indicator is shown around the previously focused widget, not the currently focused QListWidget

      Additional info:

      • I am upgrading an application from 5.9.3 (MSAA accessibility backend) to 5.15.1 (UIA accessibility backend).  Both NVDA and Narrator behave as expected in 5.9.3.

      Code sample:

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QListWidget>
      #include <QPushButton>
      #include <QVBoxLayout>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      	QApplication app(argc, argv);
      	QCoreApplication::setApplicationName("Qt NVDA list widget bug");
      
      	QWidget window;
      	window.resize({ 300, 100 });
      	window.setLayout(new QVBoxLayout());
      
      	QListWidget* list = new QListWidget();
      	list->setAccessibleName("Items");
      	window.layout()->addWidget(list);
      
      	for (int i = 1; i < 5; ++i)
      	{
      		const QString name = QString("Item %1").arg(i);
      		list->addItem(new QListWidgetItem(name));
      	}
      	list->item(0)->setSelected(true);
      
      	QPushButton *button = new QPushButton("OK");
      	window.layout()->addWidget(button);
      
      	window.show();
      
      	return app.exec();
      }
