[orca-list] Question about braille verbosity preferences

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanied gnome org>]

Hey guys.

As I just wrote in newly-opened bug 637884 [1]:

> According to our documentation, the braille verbosity setting:
>
> "determines the amount of information that will be brailled in certain
> situations. For example, if it is set to verbose, keyboard shortcut and role
> name information is displayed. This information is not displayed in brief
> mode."
>
> We seem to always present the shortcuts. And the only time I found that we
> changed behaviors with respect to rolenames was with page tabs. To make matters
> worse, not only do we have this bug, I cannot "fix" the documentation by
> finding a different example of braille verbosity because a quick grep through
> the code suggests this is the *only* thing we're doing with braille verbosity.
> :-/

So.... Before I cause Orca's behavior to jive with what the docs claim
Orca does, do any of you braille readers who like brief verbosity have a
problem with no rolename and no shortcut? Are there some rolenames which
should always be displayed and, if so, what are they?

Thanks! Take care.
