Re: [orca-list] alt-tab popups are not spoken as they pop up



Hi All:

I believe the behavior Lorenzo is describing here is a regression. The Orca script for metacity (the window manager) is depending upon receiving "text inserted" events for the metacity status bar when the user presses Alt+Tab. It appears as though the first time you press Alt+Tab, these events are not delivered. But, when you continue to hold Alt and then release/press Tab, the events are delivered. The resulting behavior is that Orca will not present the first window you might end up on as the result of an Alt+Tab.

If I press alt-tab and hold down the alt key I can't hear the
application I will be switching to. If I keep the alt key pressed and
hit the tab key subsequent times, I hear the applications cycling. But
the first time the application isn't spoken. The same happens when
switching workspaces. Only the second and subsequent workspaces are
spoken and the first is silent. This seems to be new in 2.18. Is this a
bug or is it somehow intentional? Is there a way to revert back to the
original behaviour if desired?

Thanks for any help,
Lorenzo
