** Description changed: + Impact + ------ + webkitgtk apps are no longer readable by Ubuntu's default screen reader. + + This regression was introduced with webkit2gtk 2.36. That version was a + major security update and has been pushed to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu + 21.10. + + There are many apps that use webkitgtk: evolution, epiphany, yelp, etc. + + Test Case + --------- + 1. Install evolution + 2. Open evolution and configure an email account. + 3. Install the update + 4. Open the Ubuntu/GNOME Settings app. In the left sidebar, select Accessibility. + 5. Click Screen Reader and turn it on. + 6. Open Evolution. Open an email in a new window. Select the body text area of the email. + + The Screen Reader should read the text on that line. + + What Could Go Wrong + ------------------ + For Ubuntu 21.10, we are just cherry-picking 2 commits from the stable gnome-40 branch. + + We are also cherry-picking those 2 commits to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. + + Original Bug Report + ------------------- Since Ubuntu 22.04 I can not read the content of the yelp pages, le content of a mail from evolution or a web page from epiphany. This worked correctly for Ubuntu 21.10 or Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This problem occurs if I migrate from a previous version, or if I reinstall from scrash. - Is there a new setting that I don't aware of? + Is there a new setting that I don't aware of? This also could be related to webkitgtk I suppose. A work arround is to select all the texte and to copy it to a place that I can read (gedit).
