Re: [orca-list] zoom accessibility

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Sorry about the problem with master and thanks for the confirmation that 
things are working again.

About Zoom: It's a Qt app, at least what I have locally is. So if 
absolutely nothing works in Zoom *at all* with Orca, my guess is that 
there's a flag or missing library or something needed to make Qt 
accessibility work. (I keep hearing, "that's no longer needed!" but I'm 
not 100% convinced that's true.)

In my environment I have:
export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1
export QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1

My version of Zoom is 3.5.374815.0324. And it looks like it's Qt version 
5.9.6.

In my environment, with the above, widgets like buttons and inputs are 
accessible. Flat review can be used for other stuff because the keyboard 
accessibility of this app -- unless I'm missing something -- is not great.

HTH!
