Re: [orca-list] emulating mouse stopped working probably after Gnome upgrade

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

Okay I have tested reverting this commit just in case and I am 100% sure this commit is not responsible for the regression.

I would say this is all because Archlinux package has been build using meson. And when comparing meson build with classic autoconf / automake build I can see in the meson build configuration some API which has perhaps believed to be private is removed.

I am not sure what is needed and how we can fix this. The easiest would be asking Jan Alexander Steffens from Arch to kindly rebuild at-spi2-core the old fashioned way by using autoconf and automake build configuration.

At the otherhand all of Gnome is moving to meson, so we do really need an advice from Mike Gorse on this.

I am attaching a patch Jan Alexander has added to the Arch build in order to prevent at-spi crashing right on launch.

And a diff showing differences between automake versus meson build.

Greetings

Peter

Hello,

It does not replace the way how the buss address is retrieved. It adds an ability to specify that address inside an environment variable presumably in order to allow running to withouth X compatibility under wayland in the future. I don't think this commit is responsible.
Yes call to the function is removed but it's added back two lines below.

I've tested on a Debian Sid machine. I can confirm the issue. The issue is not the emulated click but the function "Routes the pointer to the current item". Sometimes I can see that the mouse moves, sometimes not. This issue doesn't appear on Orca 3.24 and at-spi 2.14.0 on Debian 8.9 "Jessie".

Best regards.
