Re: [orca-list] Orca only announce heading level without title

Hi again Edhoari.

I just committed a workaround in Orca that seems to work more often than not. However, when it fails there's not a lot I can do about it. We need Firefox to change: Either they stop destroying stuff on the page in question (in which case my workaround is not needed) or they do so more quickly (so my workaround always works). Detailed information can be found on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1748450

In the meantime, hopefully what's in Orca master makes things suck less. Please test and let me know. Thanks!

Hey Edhoari.

This is a known and tricky issue, and every time I try to work on it I eventually get fed up and tackle a different problem. <tired smile> That said, I'll give it another go today.

Basically what seems to be happening on this particular site is that poking at the heading and/or its child link causes both the heading and child link to be destroyed and (presumably) recreated. In other words, it's all valid when we find the heading. But when Orca tries to update the caret/focus within the browser and get the heading text, the browser destroys everything (the heading's name disappears, the link that gives the heading its name disappears, etc.). So I either need to find a clever way to recover from this, or we need the browsers to stop the destruction.....
