Re: [orca-list] Braille cursor question



Guess what, I am tracking slackware-current on my desktop and I just did an update and brltty 3.10 was one of the updates and now I have a blinking cursor in Orca. I think this answers it for sure.

Yep - from the BrlTTY ChangeLog, I see this for 3.10:

"   BrlAPI changes:
      Now at release 0.5.2.
      Present a blinking cursor if that's what the user has configured.
"

You might have it there, my slackware system is using brltty 3.9 and my debian system has 3.10. I seemed to have the feeling that the cursor was generated by orca and brltty had no knowledge that those dots were actually a cursor, I must have been wrong.

Hi Michael:

I believe the support of the blinking cursor was a more recent addition to BrlTTY/BrlAPI. Is it possible you might be using different versions of BrlTTY between the two operating systems?

Hello,
I have noticed something rather odd since I installed debian on my laptop. Orca in debian seems to be respecting the setting of the cursor in Brltty. By this I mean I normally set the cursor to blinking in brltty but orca doesn't follow this on my desktop running slackware, but debian seems to be using a blinking cursor in orca. To check exactly if it was what I thought it was I changed the brltty setting on my laptop to blinking cursor as no and then orca's Braille cursor didn't blink, and when I changed brltty back to blinking cursor it returned in orca. What's going on? Is this a debian specific patch and if so could it be sent upstream to be included in standard Orca?
