Hi.
Yes seeing similar although to be honest for my day to day job I hardly use the portal these days, and have no access to the portal in anything other than a dev account. Every time I contact someone in Microsoft it seems to be a new person, so all I can suggest is the EDAD.
Andrew.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Navigation in the Azure UI has become very inefficient.
Hello,
Perhaps someone could direct me in the right direction. The people I previously raised this kind of problem with are no longer with Microsoft.
In the update released just over a week ago, the navigation in the Azure portal has become painfully inefficient.
Previously to navigate the list of tabs / pages for a blade, I would do the following:
1. Press control end.
Press shift r.
Press E to get to the search box.
Tab twice.
Jaws would recognise that I was in a list of items similar to a treeview and would quite comfortably read the list as I arrowed through.
Now:
I go to the region using step one and two above. But the treeview is no longer recognised properly. I can read the first few links. When it gets to the sections such as config for example, I can't keep using arrow down to move through the list. The virtual PC cursor is re-enabled.
The item is then no longer a link. Jaws just reads it as text.
There is also a button after each item that says "Add to favourites". This means I need to listen to a lot more speech and I need to arrow through a lot more.
Also, take the example where I want to find the add button in one of the blades. I would previously do the following:
1. Press control and end to get to the bottom of the page.
2. Press shift and r to move to the last region.
3. Press b three or four times to find the close button.
4. Then arrow down until I find the button that I want. I arrow down so that I don't miss any important messages at the top of the blade.
Now, because of all these buttons to add to favourites it takes far too long to find this simple add button.
By the way, I have disabled the collapsable menus that came out in this update because they made the situation even worse!
Regards
Darragh
