Hey all.
I made a number of changes today in Orca master regarding presentation
of the status bar. It was prompted by some VSCode support wanted in
Orca, but led to some bigger changes. Most notably:
* If you are a braille user, when you give the command to speak the
status bar, braille will also be generated so you can examine the
bar that way without having to flat review the last line.
* Roles are now presented (e.g. so you know if something is a button
or link in the status bar).
* Labels in braille now have the end-of-line marker, if you have this
setting enabled. Feedback on this would be helpful. The rationale
was the label soup I saw in braille for LibreOffice Writer. Speech
separates these things out with pauses so you don't hear label
soup.
I also found an inconsistency in what was spoken for a link (name is
preferred) versus braille (actual text, complete with non-printable
characters, was preferred). Now braille also prefers name. Let me know
if that change has any unanticipated side effects.
Thanks!
