Re: [orca-list] mattermost, ubuntu mate 20.04, and accessibility.

[Jordan Verner <jordan caturria ca>]

Hi,

I just tested this on my arch (with mate) computer.

It seems that Mattermost is running on a pretty old version of Electron 
(7.0). However, on the latest and greatest Orca (40.0) and the latest 
bleeding-edge version of Mattermost built from source via the Arch user 
repository, I can get Mattermost to present an accessible interface.

You do have to pass --force-renderer-accessibility on the command line.

It sounds like you might need to be running versions newer than what 
Ubuntu offers. Perhaps consider building Mattermost and Orca from 
source, or switch to Arch (or an Arch based distribution).

Kind regards,


Jordan.
