Re: [orca-list] Should Orca do a say all for all new, non-focused alerts?



I definitely would support this idea. Perhaps as an option in Firefox page of preferences, but would be useful. Typically, in Nightly, Orca says "Alert, new available feature", but I never know what it is. Orca does not say it and the area is not focusable. So I support this proposal.

Hey all.

As part of some discussion of a Firefox bug, it was suggested that it's
problematic that Orca doesn't read the entire contents of a new, non-
focused alert.

For instance, consider the pop-up for microphone permissions. Right now
Orca (master) says "Alert. Allow mozilla.github.io to use your
microphone?"

Would you prefer Orca to say instead "Alert. Allow mozilla.github.io to
use your microphone? Microphone combo box. Monitor of Built-in Audio
Analog Stereo. 1 of 2. Remember this decision checkbox not checked.
Block push button. Allow push button."

Keep in mind that focus remains in the web page when this thing pops up
and if you actually want to interact with it, you need to use F6 to get
to it.

I'm happy to make the change if everyone thinks it's a good idea.

Thanks in advance for your input!
