As an overview to this, I have been using nightly builds of FF 4 for a while now and generally, not too bad. Too biggies however are already filed bugs concerning the inability to hear spoken text when backspacing in most edit boxes. And I still presently cannot hear any
There's a patch fixing the mozilla part of this issue on bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619002 however that patch doesn't help you at all until bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638377 gets fixed. The short story is that a long time ago someone working on the atk api for text insert and removes though it would be a good idea for the app to tell the at-spi-registryd that text had changed and then the registryd would ask app what text was at that location. Honestly, I'm not sure how that manged to work at all, but somehow it was fine in gtk etc, but in firefox after atk gets the text has changed signal that the deleted text is already gone. So the fix needs to be a non-brain damaged api where the application gives atk the location of the text that was deleted and what that text was at the same time.
spoken text when arrowing around in edit boxes for the Bookmarks Creation and library management dialog. For a while there I could not rename a bookmark in any way; that part got eventually fixed but I still cannot change names of bookmarks while saving it.
Can you really confirm this with the latest nightly? It works for me, and we thought this bug was fixed. Trev
I pretty much use FF4 exclusively now. On Fri, Mar 04, 2011 at 05:44:49PM +0100, Fernando Herrera wrote:Hi, As you may know Firefox 4 is coming really soon. Accessibility is one of the key points of Firefox. We have put a big effort making it much better than Firefox 3 while avoiding any regression. It would be great if we can get more testing of Firefox 4 + orca, so we can find any regression not shown on other platforms. You can download nightly builds of firefox 4 from here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk and you can fill any bug you find at: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Core under the disability access API component. Also, I use to hang around #a11y at irc.gnome.org and #accessibility at irc.mozilla.org if you need some help. Thank you very much!
