[orca-list] Progress bar updates speak when not focused

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

I would like to get a sense of the community's feel about this.

Right now, if there is a progress bar in existence in any open program, 
I get the update messages spoken every 10 seconds. I believe that 
progress bar updates should only be spoken when the window/dialog 
containing the progress bar has focus. To me, it is annoying that, 
whenever I want to download something and continue working, I get an 
update every 10 seconds or I have to go into the Orca preferences to 
turn off the updates. I believe that requiring the progress bar's window 
to have focus before any updates are indicated can allow users to avoid 
a cluttered feedback environment.

I'll file the RFE this weekend unless the rest of the community is 
against the idea.

thanks,

dave
