Re: [orca-list] Orca "Where Am I" migrated to the new speech generator

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi, Will and Joanie,

I've done a little light testing and only found one problem so far. In 
Thunderbird's Write window, if you are in one of the recipient fields 
and press where am I, you don't hear the contents of the text field--I 
hear "toolbar list item 4 of 4".

The label "toolbar" is a problem in both Firefox and Thunderbird that 
has been around for a long time and I have never gotten around to filing 
as a bug. In Firefox, labels are not read for the Location and Search 
text fields on the toolbar when "where am I" is pressed, just the 
overall label "toolbar". In the Thunderbird Write window, the same thing 
is true for the recipient and subject fields. I've tested in only a few 
dialog boxes within Thunderbird, and text fields are read correctly with 
their labels.

Note that this testing is being done with latest pull from git on gnome 
2.24.1--my 2.26 installation has run into sound problems that I'm going 
to try to fix later today.

I'll try to do some more testing tonight.
