+
+* Make cell ancestor presentation optional
+
+ In issue #253, Orca's failure to present cell ancestor information
+ when tabbing among interactive descendants of a cell was reported
+ as a bug. The fix for that bug was included in the stable (42.2)
+ release. Multiple users have subsequently reported that this "fix"
+ introduced unexpected/unwanted chattiness and requested that the
+ presentation be configurable.
+
+ In order to accomplish configurability without introducing new
+ settings (and strings, and UI), this presentation now respects the
+ table-related options found on Orca's app-specific preferences for
+ web browsers. Those options had been intended just for structural
+ navigation within tables, but seem to be applicable here. Because
+ they are enabled by default, users who find the ancestor information
+ too chatty will need to opt out by disabling that presentation.
+
+ It is my hope that this solution meets everyone's needs. Feedback
+ on the Orca mailing list and/or in gitlab is encouraged. If need be,
+ a new stable release reverting the fix entirely will be done.
