Hi Al,
I'm running Edgy with Gnome 2.15, and am experiencing major weirdness
in terms of accessibility when attempting to use it with Orca.
I am also running the latest ubuntu edgy with the latest orca and
finding similar problems. I've also reproduced our problems running
gnopernicus. It seems as though there is a serious problem with this
version of gnome 2.15 which is independent of orca.
1. Focus in gaim seems to be messed up. I was able to create one
account, a freenode irc account. But now, after doing that, I can
never seem to bring focus back to the main buddy list window, as for
whatever reason, it doesn't seem to appear in the alt tab order.
I am also able to reproduce this problem which I actually reported at
the beginning of last week. It happens with both orca from CVS head and
gnopernicus.
2. Very strange things are happening in gnome terminal. Orca tracks
live events well enough, but if I attempt to use flat review, it's all
over the place. The read current line command seems to start at the
top of the window, rather than at the last location of the cursor.
Another oddity is that not all of the window is accessible via flat
review. in other words, if my screen fills up with data, flat review
stops before actually reaching the last line on the screen.
3. Open office writer is completely inaccessible. Orca won't even
read the menu bar or the help dialog. If I attempt flat review, all I
get is panel.
I am also unable to read content with openoffice with this version of
the desktop. If this is a general desktop problem and not related to
the particular edgy we are running this will be a serious regression
from gnome 2.14.
Mike
