Re: [orca-list] open suse 11.1

[Aruni Sharma <libranarsh gmail com>]

Hi Brian, I have also installed opensuse 11.1. However, my open office is working fine including word and calc. Firefox is totally inaccessible not even the menu bar, address bar etc.
Thanks,
Aruni.

You will be interested in this thread:

I will summarize:

Recent changes in Gtk+ and gnome-settings-daemon broke accessibility
for non-Gtk+ apps that use Gtk+ (this includes Firefox, OpenOffice,
and others).  Basically openSUSE, being brand new, used a brand new
version of Gtk that requires some accessibility fixes for
applicaitons that use Gtk.   The Fixes are currently being worked on.

Here is the specific Firefox bug:
