Re: Fwd: How to enable focus & caret tracking in magnifier

[Bas Cancrinus <bas cloud64 nl>]

Hi,

Focus & caret tracking was suddenly working in Firefox and LibreOffice when I booted my Fedora 20 system today!

I don't know exactly why, but the following may have helped:

1. I had the Gnome magnifier turned on when I shutdown Fedora. I noticed that the magnifier turned on immediately when I logged in today.

2. $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility -> true

3. Fedora updated my system; gnome-shell is now at 3.10.3-8.fc20.x86_64

Cheers, Bas

Thanks for your reply! See my comments inline.

 

Don't know about LibreOffice, but there is a bug already opened in

relation with Firefox:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709579

The following workaround described in that bug fixes focus tracking:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true

It doesn't describe nor fix caret tracking, so I opened a new bug for that:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725170

LibreOffice should work out of the box according to:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Accessibility#GNOME

But the option “Enable assistive technologies” is not there (v4.1.5.3).

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Bas
