Please describe the problem: After tabbing to a radio button group orca speaks the role when changing the selected button Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the "edit current profile" dialog in gnome-terminal 2. navigate to any of the radio button groups 3. arrow between the radio buttons Actual results: Radio button is spoken each time the selected button is changed Expected results: You should just hear the new button Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Thank you for your report. We will most likely look at this post GNOME 2.16.

Mike - is this an RFE or a bug? What's the behavior for different verbosity levels? Is there a spec for this in the orca docs?
I think this problem may end up being a hairball to implement and to provide a compelling user experience. I'm guessing the major annoyance here is that the user hears the rolename before the state. This seems to violate our general rule of more important information first. What if we resolve this problem by presenting the state first and the role next?
This would be sufficient if implementation of the origional bug report will be a real problem. I view this as more of a bug not at RFE.
Created attachment 75025 [details] [review] Patch to implemented the suggested change Per discussion with Will, this patch reverses the speaking of the state and the role for radio buttons and also for check boxes. State is now spoken first, followed by role.
Changes checked into CVS HEAD. Closing as FIXED.
