tdf#157633 a11y: Drop a11y description in Word Count dialog
Drop the accessible description for the Word Count
dialog since, as pointed out on the a11 mailing list [1],
having that whole text read out each time by the
screen reader isn't really the desired behavior.
For dialogs, NVDA on Windows only reads the a11y description
and not the dialog content if the a11y description
is set (s. [2]).
In case of this dialog, there's also no way to have
the text read out by moving focus (there are only
2 buttons at the bottom of the dialog), but only
by having the whole dialog read out by pressing
a screenreader-specific keyboard shortcut, in which
case NVDA would announce the description of the
dialog again first of all, before announcing the
actual content.
There's a help button right in the dialog that can be
used to get the same information easily, so drop
the a11y description.
This also implies that this text is no longer shown
as tooltip on mouse hover when extended tips are enabled
in the settings, since that feature makes use of the
a11y description.
