Re: [orca-list] Orca and Pidgin



I use Pidgin with Orca. To change the status, I tab over to the status
selector. I press the space bar and arrow down to the status I want. I
then press the enter key to activate that status. I'm then placed in a
text field where I can edit my status message.

I'm running Orca 3.1.9-xdesktop on Ubuntu 11.04 with Pidgin 2.7.11.

Hey Robert.

but if I would for example 
change my status from Available to Busy or Away, pressing the '5' key on 
the numpad announces the first status option (Available as opposed to 
announcing the currently highlighted status.

If by highlighted you literally mean highlighted, I'm guessing that you
have the combo box expanded (i.e. so that all the options are shown on
screen at once). In which case the accessible item is a menu and Orca
(by original design) does not allow one to flat-review menus. See the
following bug (which is one option -- but not the only one) I will be
implementing to help alleviate the greyed-out menu item problem:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667087

In the meantime, if you change the selection by not expanding the combo
box first, but just Up/Down Arrowing, does Orca read the combo box as
its value changes?

Take care.
