Re: [orca-list] Force Orca to put focus on titlebars and other unfocusable content

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Andy.

Orca works according to accessible objects. Scrollbars have accessible 
objects and thus should be reachable via flat review. Title bars, at 
least in the case of Gtk+ apps do not have accessible objects. Thus 
there's no way to move to those because they do not exist. If I 
understand what you mean by box sizer, those too don't have accessible 
objects. Perhaps in Windows toolkits, these objects have accessible 
objects and that's how NVDA allows it??
