Re: [orca-list] Orca, FF and Youtube

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Jace.

I'm not seeing the sidebar spoken, but Orca is reading parts of the page 
to me. In my case it's because Orca believes they are live region 
messages. This leads me to a follow-up question. You said:

Do you mean that NVDA is showing the same behavior as Orca? In other 
words, in both cases you are telling the screen reader to not speak this 
stuff and in both cases the screen reader (NVDA and Orca) are each 
speaking the unwanted stuff? If that's the case, then I guess it's 
probably a change in YouTube. If that's not the case and you mean 
something else, please clarify.
