Re: [orca-list] Orca doesn't like the edit fields of Evolution



Hi,
I already turn structural navigation off (otherwhise I can't type
anything), and Ctrl+Shift+E doesn't work in my case. I find it utterly
strange that Evolution doesn't work well with Orca: after all, both are
made by the same guys, aren't they?...
Thanks for your workarounds. With these glitches and all, I'm liking
Evolution so far.
Cheers,
Sukil

Yes, it is unfortunate that Orca has trouble with some of these 
GNOME-native things, like Evolution.  There are two work-arounds I
can 
suggest:


1)  Turn structural nav keys off, with 'orcakey+z' when in the edit 
fields.  Type text as you like, then turn the structure nav keys back
on 
when done editing.


2)  use 'ctrl+shift+e', when in the edit fields, to bring up a
temporary 
file in gedit, where you can type and edit your text. When done,
save 
and close the file. the email body will contain the text from the
temp 
file.



HTH,



Dave

Hi,
As Evolution is a Gnome product, I decided to give it a try and use
something other than Thunderbird, as the latter doesn't support the
Linux stock mail (/var/mail, anyone?). The thing is that I've found
the
following issues with its edit fields:
1. The To, CC, CCO and subject fields are spoken in their entirety,
even when arrowing through them. That is to say, if I press the
right
arrow to move to the next character, I hear the entire field
spoken.
2. The message edit field sometimes goes mute, and I have to
restart
Orca for it to read it again. Sometimes triggering a "select until
end"
command works, too. Also, backspacing is not echoed.
I am using v 3.22.2 of both programs.
Thanks,
Sukil
