Re: [orca-list] Mouse review: Orca doesn't read title bar at all

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Orca reads the accessible object under the mouse. The title bar is not
an accessible object. It's just part of the window. I might be able to
come up with a heuristic hack, but it wouldn't necessarily be reliable
and it might impact performance. If the window manager can expose the
title bar as a separate accessible object, that would solve the problem.
Could you or Samuel look into fixing it in the window manager?

Thanks!
