** Description changed:

- With the new updates tree view, Orca is correctly reading the name of
- each update (and whether it can be expanded), but it never reads the
- toggle cell in the Install column. This means a vision-impaired user has
- no way of knowing which updates are selected and which are not. This is
- a regression from Ubuntu 12.10. We need to convince the screen reader to
- mention whether an update is toggled.
+ [Impact]
  
- In addition, the screen reader currently says "Image" for every cell in
- restart_column, even when (99% of the time) there is no image visible.
- This is noisy and unhelpful. Instead, Orca should say nothing for this
- cell, unless the restart required icon is being displayed, in which case
- it should say "Restart required".
+ Orca, the screen reader, correctly reads the name of each update in
+ update-manager's list, but it never reads the toggle cell in the Install
+ column. This means a vision-impaired user has no way of knowing which
+ updates are selected and which are not.
  
- These issues were observed Using Orca 3.7.0.94 and GTK+ 3.6.2 in Ubuntu
- 12.10.
+ It also does not announce the update message while update-manager is
+ checking for updates.
+ 
+ [Test plan]
+ 
+ *Unmute your speakers.
+ *If apt list --upgradable is empty, downgrade any package.
+ *Start orca.
+ *Start update-manager.
+ 
+ In the initial state of the window, it's checking for new updates.
+ Verify that the screen reader announces that fact as "checking for
+ updates".
+ 
+ Once it is done, the list of packages that can be upgraded is displayed.
+ Verify that the lines are spoken by the screen reader as you focus them
+ (either with the keyboard or with the mouse), as well as their selection
+ state. I.e., if the check-box corresponding to a package is checked, the
+ screen reader should say "selected" for that package, and if unchecked,
+ it should say "unselected".
+ 
+ [What could go wrong]
+ 
+ Screen reading capabilities of other elements of update-manager could be
+ negatively impacted.
