Checkboxes are announced as buttons for screen readers when in dark mode

[Quentin Cosendey]

Hello,

I have quite a simple and classic dialog box with text fields,
checkboxes and buttons. Everything works as expected as long as the app
is in light or unspecified appearance mode.
However, when the app is in dark mode, checkboxes are notified as
buttons by screen readers (Jaws and NVDA), and their state checked or
unchecked isn't
announced. They continue to work properly, i.e. the state correctly
switches when clicking or pressing space, but they keep being indicated
as buttons without state. So screen reader users can no longer know that
they are checkboxes, and if they are checked or not.

Am I missing something ? Is that a limitation of dark mode ? Or this is
just a bug ?

I'm using WXWidgets developement / master branch, last updated about
10-15 days ago, on Windows 11.
There was no problem with version 3.2.

I activate dark mode with:
SetAppearance(Appearance::Dark);
in wxApp::OnInit, according to user configuration.

My dialog box is pretty simple, some example code:

ConnectDialog::ConnectDialog (App& app0):
wxDialog(nullptr, wxID_ANY,
U(translate("connTitle")),
wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE),
app(app0)
{
auto usernameLabel = new wxStaticText(this, wxID_ANY,
U(translate("login")));
username = new wxTextCtrl(this, ID_USERNAME, wxEmptyString,
wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0);
auto passwordLabel = new wxStaticText(this, wxID_ANY,
U(translate("password")));
password = new wxTextCtrl(this, ID_PASSWORD, wxEmptyString,
wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxTE_PASSWORD);
rememberMe = new wxCheckBox(this, ID_REMEMBERME,
U(translate("rememberpassword")));
autologin = new wxCheckBox(this, ID_AUTOLOGIN,
U(translate("useAutoLogin")));
auto connectBtn = new wxButton(this, wxID_OK, U(translate("connection")));

...

auto dlgSizer = new wxFlexGridSizer(2, 5, 5);
dlgSizer->Add(usernameLabel, 0);
dlgSizer->Add(username, 0, wxEXPAND);
dlgSizer->Add(passwordLabel, 0);
dlgSizer->Add(password, 0, wxEXPAND);
dlgSizer->Add(new wxStaticText(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString), 0);
dlgSizer->Add(rememberMe, 0, wxEXPAND);
dlgSizer->Add(new wxStaticText(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString), 0);
dlgSizer->Add(autologin, 0, wxEXPAND);
dlgSizer->Add(connectBtn, 0);

...

SetSizerAndFit(dlgSizer);

username->SetFocus();
}

Thank you for your help.

P.S. Sorry if you get this message multiple times. It seems that it
didn't go through on previous attempt.
