[orca-list] Jira

Hi all,

i'm just wondering if anyone could give me some hints how to make jira
more accessible for Orca. I have to use Jira at work and there are
many situations where the accessibility is very limited. They are
using a lot of dynamic javascript dialogs and stuff (i guess) that
might be problematic.

Some examples for problematic parts:
- when typing into a text widget and a proposal list is provided i'm
not able to get to it
-- e.g. if you want to add a watcher or pick a version etc..
- a lot of buttons are just not spoken by Orca
-- e.g. in project administration -> user management or roles or versions etc..
- Some links would provide a kind of sub-menu but it isn't possible to
activate it via the keyboard
-- e.g. when editing an issue there is a "more" button at the top of
the issue that would provide - well - more options :-)


In order to make things simpler i tried to use the Eclipse Plugin.
Unfortunately this is also partly accessible. As a next step i thought
about some little python scripts or similar stuff but i just wanted to
ask if there are any known hacks or solutions i'm just not aware of.

btw. i'm talking about Jira Version 6.2.x and don't know if this has
changed in newer releases. In the past each new version introduced new
accessibility issues instead of fixing them..

Thanks in advance,
- Jann
