Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an accessible application that uses Alert.show(...) with Alert.OK and Alert.CANCEL (or other buttons)
2. Run JAWS (I'm using 10.0.512U) and trigger the alert
3. Set focus on the buttons with tab

Actual Results:
JAWS reads the alert title, alert text, and then the application name.

Expected Results:
JAWS reads the alert and then tells the user what button he or she is on.

4. Press tab a few more times.

Actual Results:
JAWS begins reading the button text.

Expected Results: JAWS reads the text of the buttons whenever they have focus.
