** 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.
