Hi I’ve gotten a couple of messages but it’s not bad. I’m glad someone is taking the time to fix up old bugs so you guys don’t have to migrate everything over to gitlab. It is worth mentioning that the Ubuntu mate version of mate has some odd behavior that stock mate or mate on other distros does not. Examples include orca announcing simply “network” instead of the network you are connected to and it’s signal strength, and not announcing the menu you add to the panel. I believe they may use some kind of indicators, which if removed, will fix the problem so it may not be an orca issue. Still, if possible could the indicators get accessibility fixes? Mind you Ubuntu is using mate 1.12 by default, so this could have been fixed in 1.18 although when I upgraded via an unofficial PPA the bugs were still there. Still, I’m not absolutely certain these are orca issues, they could be old indicators which didn’t get updated along with mate. Right now I’m noticing a pretty cignificant bug in orca from master. In mate, orca starts, and then stops speaking. If you wait a while, sometimes orca will see the desktop, and then work normally, but usually requires a restart, or toggle off and on. When toggled off, there’s a delay, followed by “screen reader off”. Then a second or two, then “screen reader settings reloaded. Then another second, followed by “screen reader off”. Then you toggle it back on, wait about a minute and a half before “desktop desktop desktop frame.” I reported this off list to joanie but didn’t include a debug log, but I can if needed. I’m having issues with Linux at the moment. When I install antergos from it’s 18.02 image, orca speaks and works fine on the live image, however when installed it refuses to speak. I cannot make it do so unless I happen to get lucky, after which it will speak for a few sessions then stop speaking. If speech-dispatcher crashes or is killed, it will not restart and the system must be restarted for orca to work, so I’m in windows only until I can figure something out. If I manage to blindly upgrade to orca from master and speech-dispatcher from git, I get lucky a little more often, but still, it’s hit or miss. It makes no sense, since orca works fine on the image, which is new and up to date, at least of February second, when it was made. Thanks Kendell Clark Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Joanmarie Diggs Hey all. Given that at some point we'll almost certainly be migrating to gitlab, and given that we've not really been using Bugzilla all that much, I'm cleaning up issues. For things which are really old and either fixed or no longer relevant, I'm obsoleting them. If they are for an issue which you have reported on the list and I indicated it's on my TODO list, then it's a known issue. Thanks and apologies for people getting bugzilla spam. --joanie _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html Log bugs and feature requests at http://bugzilla.gnome.org |
