Re: [orca-list] orca and pidgin

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Javier:

Thank you for filing these bugs.  Sorry it took me a while to look into
this.  What I'm seeing is this on my GNOME 2.20.0 system with Pidgin
2.1.1:

 * The status setting looks like a combobox, but is actually a
   toggle button pretending to be a combobox.

 * When you tab to the toggle button, Orca just presents that
   you are on an unpressed toggle button.

 * Pressing the space or return key will pop up the status options.
   You can press up/down arrow and Orca will read the items as they
   are highlighted.

 * Pressing the return key will select a status option for you and
   dismiss the list of status options.

So, aside from being rather kooky in how they chose to use a toggle
button to implement a combobox, I think the main problem we have
here is that the toggle button doesn't seem to be appropriately
labelled.
