Re: [orca-list] some minor issues with orca in gnome 3.14



Others might have additional information, but as far as I know there is no bug report for this issue. If you have a chance, please go ahead and report it.

Thanks,

Fernando

There are other issues that are probably gnome related, but this one is especially annoying.
Not so much that I need more concrete feedback as to when I change a key binding, but the shortcuts interface 
is where I'd go to learn the preset
bindings, honestly don't even know where else to look for them for sure. I suspect the F123 manual for 
example has them, and surely some where on the
gnome site there's a list as well, but this is rather bad not to have easily accessible locally, especially 
because it should be very easily fixable I
think.
I'll make a list of the others as they occur. Dropbox applet comes to mind, just says unknown. The unity 
indic ator for this works, as does the mate
applet, more or less. I am not using dropbox3 BTW, as the first few releases for Linux were not working worth 
a damn, think the panel applet, icon,
whatever you want to call it did not appear for anyone, memory leaks were crazy, and the thing took up like 
100MB extra compared with 2.10 just to break
stuff...lol
So, while most things do indeed "work", and in general the interface is fine as far as responsiveness goes, I 
am no longer going to say that gnome3 is
probably the most all around accessible interface. Mate has some occasional lags, and its own 
non-show-stopping accessibility bugs, but the two desktops
are certainly in the same league as far as over all usability with Orca goes in my opinion.
Mate does announce work areas by name or number, so does XFCE for that matter. Gnome does not for me. Pretty 
poor, again this is not so much for obvious
reasons, but because of the way program windows are placed by default in gnome 3.12 and 3.14 anyway. It is 
often not clear if I am in the work space I
navigated to, or if focus jumped back up to where I was before when I moved to the new work space. It seems 
that one navigates between all open windows
with alt tab combination, not just windows on a specific work space as default behavior.
    Is there a specific bugtracker section for accessibility related bugs in gnome shell, or are they mixed 
in with other bugs?
I would assume that most of the issues I have encountered have been reported, and although I've not spent 
much time using gnome 3.x of any release I
think most of what I am seeing has been around at least since 3.12.
Thanks,
