[orca-list] a few miscellaneous issues to report

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi all
This is just a list of the issues I've noticed in orca master so far.
They're miscellaneous because most are related to mate's gtk3 port. but
one is related ... I'm not sure if it's firefox or not. First, orca
seems to get stuck in mate's panel. I've already sent joanie a debug log
on this and it looks like after one of my applets, orca seems to lose
focus on the panel and will no longer read it. I think the panel itself
is responsible, but I'm not entirely sure if this is orca or not.
Second, it is impossible to access applications run as rootwith orca.
This is going to be a tricky one to solve, but if joanie wants, I can
provide a debug log from mate, where this doesn't work and a debug log
from gnome, where it does. These next issues aren't mate related.
Sometimes, when orca encounters a slider, it will say the current value
but not the percentage associated with it. That's a little vague, so
I'll elaborate. In gnome, press control+alt+tab to get to the top panel.
Go down to system and expand it. You'll land on the volume slider. On my
system, orca says volume: slider 0.4. Pressing the where am I shortcut
gets me volume slider 0.4 37 percent. Is there a reason the where am I
is needed? I'm only curious, it's no big deal. The last issue is that
when reading in say all, if the volume keys are pressed, orca seems to
get interrupted, instead of continuing to read. My guess is that there
is a pop up window on screen which displays teh new volume. Would it be
possible for orca to read these natively or, if not, to ignore them and
continue reading? I'm no expert but I would guess the pop up is claiming
focus and orca is just doing what it's supposed to do.
Thanks
