Re: [orca-list] When checking "only speak displayed text" Orca speaks element context like "heading" and "link" on Firefox

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Ok, I hopefully fixed that along with other instances of Orca speaking 
stuff it shouldn't when "only speak displayed text" is enabled. I just 
did this in Orca master for now so as not to accidentally break anything 
in stable.

Note that at the present time, Orca does not do work to determine if the 
onscreen text and the accessible name are different. And in some cases 
Orca won't be able to make that distinction even if you wanted it to. 
Similarly, Orca might not be able to identify reliably if the name is 
truly displayed in text versus shown as an image or icon. And even if it 
could, it's not trying to do so. With these issues in mind, I hope that 
always speaking the accessible label/name is ok.
