Re: [orca-list] Editable text becomes "about:blank" in Thunderbird 60.2.1



I did that update some weeks ago, but the Thunderbird problem kicked in anyway, maybe two weeks ago.

II'm not the OP but I use debian stretch and this problem comes up if you just use the standard gnome-orca and thunderbird packages. However, I also think that if you install gnome-orca from the stretch-backports repository, the problem goes away.

In other words, if you are a debian stretch user, I think you can fix the problem by doing this:

1. Configure stretch-backports in your sources.list. Edit the file, /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main

2. Update the dpkg cache and install gnome-orca from strectch-backports:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t stretch-backports install gnome-orca

3. Restart orca, press Alt+F2 and type "orca --replace".

Hello Frans-Willem,

Yes, I'm aware of this issue. You've probably migrated to Thunderbird 60 without updating your Orca version, isn't it? You should have Orca 3.30 to make it working with Thunderbird 60.

What is your GNU/Linux distribution?

Best regards,
Alex.

Hello list,

As I write this message and several more, I can no longer use SayAll or
simple "press cursor up or down" to read the message body of a
mail-message. Orca only speaks "about colon blank" on every line/sentence.

I presume this has happened upon an update of Thunderbird; Orca has not
recently been updated. Using 3.28.0 under Ubuntu 18.04.1 with GNOME.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? How can it be solved?

Thanks,

Frans-Willem Post
