Re: [orca-list] The New Focus Mode Stuff

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
The issue with such alert type messages not being spoken while using 
gmail in Firefox with Orca might most likelly mean orca is not correctly 
picking aria live regions found in gmail. A little while ago I have 
reported a similar case that such an alert message is not anounced after 
opening a gmail conversation.
Unfortunatelly I have found another case where orca is not properly 
handling such a rich list. It's in the gmail contacts. When that list of 
contacts gets keyboard focus orca does not switch into focus mode and 
unfortunatelly even when it's being switched to focus mode manually it 
does report nothing while trying to use arrow keys. I need to play more 
with this because I am not sure this is a gmail issue or an orca issue.

Greetings

Peter
