Hey Kyle, all.

As you pointed out, it isn't new. And in theory, some people think
it's a feature. <smiles> But I agree that we need to sort this all
out. So I've just opened a bug for this purpose 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750164. In the end I
want everything consistent: What we do for Gecko we do for
everything else. Whatever that happens to be, I'll leave it to you
all. While I work on fixing bugs and the like, I strongly encourage
everyone to add feedback in the comments of the aforementioned bug.
Once we have consensus on a concrete (and ideally simple) expected
behavior, I'll make it so.

Thanks! --joanie

This isn't exactly new, but since changes are being made to the
Gecko code, I thought I'd mention this here, especially since it
involves lists.

I indicated that GTK lists should be reported as lists, but that
item counts only need to be spoken when Speak Child Position is
enabled. However, I have noticed the same issue in Firefox that
was present in yesterday's GTK list code. An example of this can
be found at http://kyle.tk/test.html I created a selection
listbox called "Light bulbs" and listed incandescent halogen 
compact fluorescent LED The selection list is focusable, and I am
able to navigate the list. Speak Child Position also behaves as
expected, telling me which item I have focused. However, upon
focusing the listbox with Speak Child Position enabled, I hear 
List with 4 items. Incandescent. 1 of 4. Whereas I am expecting
to hear something like either Light bulbs List. Incandescent. 1
of 4. or List. Incandescent. 1 of 4. With Speak Child Position
disabled, I expect to hear either Light bulbs list.
Incandescent. or List. Incandescent. but instead I hear List with
4 items. Incandescent. It seems to make no difference whether my
verbosity is brief or verbose; Orca is always presenting the
selection list in this way. Note that I gave two different 
expected presentations of this list in each case above, but the
most helpful would be if the name attribute of the select element
could be used to present my example listbox as "Light bulbs list"
rather than simply as "list." Thanks for any help. Sent from the
inside of an incandescent light bulp
