tdf#163989 a11y: Avoid "showing" event on empty notification label
The label in the search bar has a notification a11y role
in order for the text (like "Search key not found") to
be announced when screen readers receive an event indicating that the
notification became visible (an object:state-changed:showing
event for AT-SPI on Linux).
However,
commit 48ba98a51f029cd14b5d982dab36eb581d40fef3
Date: Wed Nov 29 14:29:57 2023 +0100
Resolves tdf#158412 - Don't show chevron in quick find bar
caused this event to be triggered also when the label has no
text, which resulted in Orca just saying "Notification", without
any indication what that notification might be.
Avoid that by not setting the label to hidden at the beginning
of LabelItemWindow::set_label if the label text is empty, so setting
it to visible again doesn't have any effect if it's already visible
when the method gets called.
An alternative might be to switch to using dedicated
notification events instead of using a label with
a notification a11y role, now that that kind of event
is available in AT-SPI2 since at-spi2-core-commit [1]
