Description Roger 2 2026-04-23 23:58:43 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1: Activate the Orca screen reader.
2: Open system settings, for example, on the disks and cameras page.
3: When focused on the list of items, press the up arrow until you reach the back button.
Current result: Orca only reads "button"
Expected result: Orca should read the button name.

Set accessible text for back button

For reasons the button has a custom content item, so we don't set the text property

Make sure we still set a text for screenreaders to read
