status of controls not shown by orca in flat review mode
Last modified: 2007-05-22 13:32:44 UTC
Currently orca does not show if a checkbox is checked or a radio-button is selected if the user navigates to them in flat review mode. Thats really useful to get in braille and speech. Other information:
you can simple reproduce this at the orca settings window. place the focus e. G. on keyboard layout. now try to navigate with braille up or down or with flat review 7 9. There is no feedback in braille or speech where the controls are and their states are not spoken or shown on the braille display. Please have a look to this.
To get current object information, you *should* be able to press Insert+KP_5 (i.e., the Orca modifier plus the key to review the current word). I've tested this, and it seems to work in general. However, I do see a traceback when trying to do any kind of flat review in gcalctool: Traceback (most recent call last):
+ Trace 132001
consumed = self._function(script, inputEvent)
self._reviewCurrentItem(inputEvent, targetCursorCell, clickCount)
self.drawOutline(x, y, width, height)
screen = self._display.get_default_screen()
return self.__dict__[attr]
You are right this key combination tells the Status but that was not my problem! I think the status should be shown on braille and reported through speech generally. You must know that there is a control to press insert+numpad_5 to get its status. That is in my opinion not right. And what about braille users?
I typically do not mark older bugs as dups of newer bugs, but I'm going to do so in this case. We've resolved the gcalctool stack trace, so I'd like to hide that comment. In addition, bug 436888 can be used to handle both the speech and braille aspects of flat review, widget state, and non-text widgets. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 436888 ***
