Re: [orca-list] Please test master: Name unborking time

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

This is NOT about what takes precedence.

Due to an old Sun Microsystems thing, for any given object, when it was 
time to get the accessible name, the text from the text interface was 
preferred over the actual accessible name. If there was no text, then 
the name was used.

Now, when Orca has decided to present the name, it presents the name.

What remains to be determined is: Is there a widget where there is no 
name, but there is displayed text in the text interface, and now Orca is 
saying nothing.
