Re: [orca-list] I wound up rewriting Mouse Review

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Kendell.

If the toolkit being used is Gtk+, then the tooltips are normally
exposed as the description and Orca should already be presenting the
description unless there is duplication or serious chattiness problems.

If the tooltip is shown by pressing Ctrl+F1, Orca should also
automatically speak it when it appears. If neither of these things are
happening, then I need more details.
