Re: [orca-list] Sound progress indicator in the "thunderbird"

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Max.

I added this option. As I indicated in my other message, I'm not sure it
will actually solve your problem because I think that the progress bar
you're talking about is a busy indicator whose value doesn't change.
That said, if you pull master and put the following lines in your
orca-customizations.py:

import orca.settings
orca.settings.ignoreStatusBarProgressBars = False

Then if the progress bar in question is really a progress bar with value
changes (which it notifies Orca of), and if it is present long enough to
be presentable, then it should be presented.

Hope this helps!
