Hey all. It turns out that Gtk+ now includes one more value for text underlining than Atk does. The impact of this bug [1] is that:
1. If a word in a Gtk+ text widget has the red, squiggly error underline 2. If an Orca user happens to have enabled the display of text attributes in braille Then the application which displayed the error will very likely crash as soon as the Orca user moves focus into that widget. This impacts at least Pidgin and OCRFeeder (which just added spell checking support, ironically, as part of the Guadalinfo Accessible projects). Needless to say, this is a bit of a drag.... I have attached a simple fix to the bug and tested that it eliminates the crashes when using Orca, and that the correct attribute is indicated via Accerciser. Not being an Atk maintainer, I'm here to beg that the fix (or a similar such solution) be committed, that freeze break be requested, and that -- if needed -- a corresponding change be made to Atk2. Thanks guys! --joanie [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630097 _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
