Re: [orca-list] Orca Magnifier Problems

[Andrew <berilthedwarf gmail com>]

Will,

Thanks for replying.  I've noticed the problem with keys no longer working in the following places:

• firefox
• gnome-terminal
• The GNOME "Run Dialogue" (Alt-F2)

As for the keys affected- I think they have been different on different occasions, but I'm not certain.  I'd say about half of the A-Z keys are affected, if it happens again, I'll try and note which ones exactly.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew:

Does this occur in any specific application and are the keys that stop consistently the same?

I wanted to ask if there were workarounds to two issues I'm having using the magnifier in Orca.

Configuration:
       •       Screen Reader disabled
       •       Magnifier set to full screen and Negative enabled.

Issues:
       •       Occasionally (and I haven't been able to determine a use case that causes it) certain keys on my keyboard stop working.  Switching to a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) or quitting orca resolves the issue.
       •       Sometimes the buttons on the orca application window disappear and I can't close orca cleanly- have to kill the process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew
