hi all
I'll try to make this short. Mate 1.8 is the latest stable version and
it works fine with orca. There are a few minor issues whichI've put in
a bug report. But mate 1.10 is currently in development and as it
stands is nearly unusable with orca. I realize this is development
code, but it's worrying. Mate 1.10 has the following issues with orca.
1: the icon view in caja, the file manager, is inaccessible. This used
to be accessible in mate 1.8. This causes the desktop to not read with
orca anymore. The backgrounds list in appearance properties  is
inaccessible with orca, instead reporting the occasional scale,
horrizontal gradient, from the control next to the list. The panel
seems to have regressed, becoming less accessible than the current
stable version. Applets that used to be announced now simply say push
button, or icon. The main menu says nothing with orca when it is
opened, unless it's not on the panel, then it says window. That's all
the new issues. The rest of the issues are issues in the current
stable version, that have carried over.  Are there any orca developers
who could take a look? The bug I've filed is at,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740670.
I suspect this is a combination of orca and mate issues. From my
limited examination of the debug logs, orca loads the gail module in
mate 1.8, which is what allows it to read most of mate. In 1.10, it
loads the standard gtk module. Mate is in the process of porting to
gtk3, which will be completed in either the next stable release, 1.10
or the following, 1.12. This is why I'm asking for orca devs to look,
because as it stands it's less accessible than the current stable
version.
Thanks
