[program-l] SSMS for SQL Server 2012 Restore Database Dialog - Cannot TAB to Radio Button for restoring from device

I'm in general impressed with NVDA's support, but in the SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) for SQL Server 2012, when restoring a database backup it is not possible to tab to a specific radio button, or to select it with arrow keys, the radio button for restoring from a device instead of a database.


On entering the restore dialog the "Restore from database as source" option is selected, the other option not accessible via tabbing or arrowing is "Restore from device as source". It is possible to reach this radio button via object navigation, then routing the mouse there and performing a left click, but I am interested why it does not show up in the tab order?

There is T-SQL commands for restoring databases (see "RESTORE DATABASE") but it requires that you provide all default paths and is a much longer process to get right than simply using the GUI interface.

Regards
