Re: [orca-list] Intermittent focus vs browse mode switching when writing messages in Thunderbird



Hello,


A lot has happened since you have asked me to generate a new debug out yesterday.

Unfortunatelly this issue still persists for me with both GTK2 and GTK3 based builds of Thunderbird.

I have prepared two debug out files first with GTK2 based build and the other with GTK3 based build of Thunderbird.

In both cases I can see the same behaviour however it took me more keypresses to break out of focus mode when using GTK2 based build of Thunderbird.

I am going to try downgrading orca to figure out when this might have started.

Here are the files I have prepared:

With GTK2 build of thunderbird http://files.pvagner.tk/debug-2017-02-23-11:43:08.out

With GTK3 build of thunderbird: http://files.pvagner.tk/debug-2017-02-23-11:55:25.out


Greetings


Peter

Hi Peter.

I can confirm that you experienced what you described, but I am not
seeing the debugging output I expected which should tell me if Orca
concluded you were in an editable message or not. (And that conclusion
is meant to dictate whether or not structural navigation keys work or not.)

That debugging output was included as part of a SeaMonkey-related
change, but should also appear for Thunderbird. It looks like I
committed it within half an hour of your sending this message, so....
Bad timing. Sorry!

If you can reliably reproduce this issue (I tried your steps, but
structural navigation did not kick in), it would be helpful to have a
debug.out with the information regarding editable messages.

Thanks again!

Hello

I have loaded the message I'm replying to, waited until orca read first
two lines, pressed up arrow, then pressed ctrl+r to bring up the new
reply window, then I have typed word Hello, then tryed to navigate
around and trying to type in letter a, finally pressed ctrl+home,
navigated past the text hello by pressing the down arrow key. I have
then pressed shift+h to start typing yet another Hello and guess what,
I've received no more headings message from orca.


Here is the debug.out.

Hey Peter.

Focus mode is meant to be enforced when writing messages in Thunderbird.
If that is not happening, then the two possibilities which spring to my
mind are:

1) Orca does not believe you're writing a message. This can result from
     missing, broken, or otherwise confusing states and/or state-change
     events.

2) Orca doesn't think you're in Thunderbird. This can result from the
     destruction and creation of the accessible associated with the window
     you're in.

The double-presentation of lines in Gecko are due to the destruction and
creation of window accessibles. I'm trying to hack around that in Orca,
but there are still situations where I'm apparently not doing that quite
right.

Could you please send me a full debug.out, captured from the latest
master, and using Thunderbird built against Gtk+2 (having seen your
other message, I don't want to introduce too many variables into the
mix).

Thanks!

Hello,

I can't properly diagnose this one but it's a bit anoying to me so I'll
try to describe what I think is going on, perhaps you will be able to
guess what to do about it or suggest me how to understand it.

When replying to a message in Thunderbird, message window appears when I
press reply button. The cursor is placed in an empty paragraph at the
top of the message.
I sometimes tend to press the down arrow key to read a bit of the
message I'm replying to.
I think when cursor passes empty paragraphs or some change in the
formatting it sometimes switches to browse mode so I have to press
orca+a to switch back to focus mode.
I think it also happens when pressing ctrl+home or pressing left arrow
key when the cursor is on the first character in the freshly opened new
reply window.
I don't know if this is possible but I would prefer if focus mode was
enforced when writing messages in thunderbird.
Might this cause some other side effects?

I think this is a regression since a few days / weeks ago. If it may
help I'll try downgrading orca to try finding out when this has started
happening.


Greetings

Peter
