--- Begin Message ---Package: orca Version: 47.3-1 Severity: grave Tags: a11y Justification: renders package unusable Hi When the focus is set to Firefox, the "browse" mode is activated and seemingly captures all key presses. Navigating the web site works, but any "normal" action doesn't. This includes "Tab" in focus mode, but also pressing ctl+l to jump to the address bar, pressing f10 to open the menu bar or alt+tab to get out of Firefox. This applies to the current packages in Trixie/testing. I can confirm this on two testing machines, independently upgraded from Bookworm, one at ~2024-10 and the other at ~2025-02. I'm using X.org and the MATE desktop. I've attached a debug log captured with the following steps: 1. Start `orca --debug`. 2. Spawn firefox from a mate-terminal with the address of `orca.gnome.org`. 3. Try to escape Firefox with Alt+Tab or access the address bar with ctl+l. Both in browse and in focus mode. It is possible that the bug isn't in Orca itself but in AT-SPI or somewhere in X.org. Normal desktop use seems not to be affected. Given the importance of web services these days, this still renders the system unusable for a considerable number of blind users.

--- Begin Message ---Hi I think we can close this bug. It affects a very particular configuration of dconf that is apparently the result of upgrades of the system over ~10 years. As this seems to affect just me, I'd purge those settings and reconfigure my MATE desktop. Sebastian
