Re: [orca-list] Problems with KDE Plasma terminal emulator "Konsole"



Howdy,

Qt 5.12.4 only makes the terminal role work, I'm not sure how much that by 
itself helps.
Ok, lets try it out. We will see what happens

Howdy Frederik,

Awsome! So after update to QT 5.12.4 i should be able to give konsole a shot
again? Are your patches in Konsole master?

No, I haven't managed to finish them, I need to put them up for review.

Hey again.

We were getting focus and caret-moved events for something with role
accelerator-label. That seemed bogus, so I'm now filtering those out in
Orca master.

Having solved that problem, I went looking for the accessible object
with role terminal in Accerciser, but couldn't find it in the
accessibility tree. Weird. I also couldn't find the accelerator-label
object in Accerciser. Then I did some local debugging. The object with
role accelerator label happens to have the same text as what I see
displayed in the terminal. So here are my guesses:

1. Somehow the terminal is getting role accelerator label. That needs to

 be fixed. Aside from it being a bogus role for a terminal widget,
 Orca uses the terminal role to identify when the terminal script
 should be used. I might be wrong, but I think this should be an
 easy fix.

The terminal role was badly mapped in Qt on Linux, this should be working
with Qt 5.12.4, I have a few patches to Konsole for some other unlabeled
buttons and such.

2. Assuming you, too, don't see the terminal widget in the accessibility

 tree, it would be good to figure out why that is and fix it. Whether
 or not doing so will have a screamingly-obvious impact on Orca is
 hard to say. But Orca does make some decisions about what to present,
 and also obtains the stuff to present, by looking in the
 accessibility tree. If that tree is broken, Orca might do the wrong
 thing.

The terminal widget is presented as editable text, is that the best
approach? And it has children (some menu and other stuff iirc).

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Frederik

Lastly, I found an ancient hack in Orca for Qt in which we just trust
that if we get a state-changed:focused event with detail1=1, it's a
valid focus claim. This was (and perhaps still is?) needed because
either the focused state and/or the focusable state were missing from
the state set. I haven't removed that hack, but I have now added some
extra debugging. We don't want missing states, because there can be
other places Orca uses those states to decide what to present. Now
something you could do is enable full debugging in Orca, use some QT
apps, then look in the resulting debug.out. Search for "QT: WARNING". If
you find it, please figure out why the state is missing and fix it. :)

Please let me know if you have any questions. And thanks for all your
work in this area!

Howdy Joanie,

i currently do some new testing session for KDE Plasma.

First of all, Thanks for the KWin script. i just test it,, the window
switcher now works now very awsome with orca master :). Thanks!

I just play around with "Konsole" its the KDE Plasma Terminal emulator.
and i figured, it has an A11y implementation! But it seems some kind of
broken as orca doesn't announce incoming text or word echo like it does
in gnome-terminal. But  i also figured that the text is available in
review. Maybe could you take a look what broken that i can see what i
can do to fix it?

cheers chrys
