that are not working properly, could whatever was correcting this
(correcting as from the user view) in the java access bridge be done
again.
What is the best way to uninstall the java access bridge completely so I
can do clean installs of older versions and let you know what I find
with the different versions of the java access bridge.
Michael,
I'll check MathTrax with different versions of Java and the Access
Bridge. I also need to add a section to wiki explaining how to
uninstall the Access Bridge.
Thanks!
Lynn

Michael,
Sorry to be late getting back to you, but I was out sick on Thursday
and Friday. Some Java applications are not well behaved and don't
follow the guidelines for keyboard navigation. The problem is in the
Java applications, not Orca.
The Java Control Panel has some accessibility problems. I've submitted
bug reports for a couple. I'll also submit a bug report for the
keyboard navigation problems you found.
Best regards,
Lynn
the java control panel, can't remember the exact name, but the one
suggested on the Orca wiki to test the set up
MathTrax1.4
I am using JDK 1.6 (the version included in ubuntu), and java access
bridge 1.18 (compiled from source). As I said the shift problem
always seems to exist, just go into the app, try and shift tab, only
tab (or ctrl-tab to go forward works). I don't remember this on java
access bridge 1.4.5 (I think that was the version, but I think I
have also used java access bridge 1.6.0 which I think was OK as
well), but I changed to java access bridge 1.18 at about the same
time I moved to JDK 1.6.
The problem with the keys (eg. when typing in an edit box) I noticed
when trying to use mathtrax, but it may be on other apps, but this
problem is only present sometimes and I am not sure if there is
something particular I am doing first which leads up to this, so I
would be unable to produce this problem immediately on demand.
Let me know if you need further information.

Hi Michael,
Can you give me one or more test cases for the keyboard
problems you're having with Java applications. The problems
may be in the Java applications themselves, since they don't
all comply with the guidelines for keyboard navigation. They
may also be in the Java Access Bridge or Orca, but I need to
reproduce the problems in order to find out.
I'm currently working on improving Orca support for Java
applications, so I'd really appreciate bug reports for any
accessibility problems you find. It's best for me if you can
give step-by-step instructions for reproducing the problem,
including the versions of the JDK and Java applications you
are using.
Thanks!
