GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 319657
Orca should speak 'find' command new line.

When in a text editor such as GEdit, orca should speak the new line landed on when doing a 'find' command.
This is definitely something we could do in the gedit script.
Note that the workaround for this currently is to Alt-Tab back to the main gedit window after the Find operation, and do a Where-ami-i with Numpad-Enter.
Created attachment 74368 [details] [review] Patch to implement the enhancement. See the comments in the gedit.py script for more details. Couple of caveats: 1/ If the find phrase is not found, then "Phrase not found" is spoken twice because we apparently get two identical "object:property-change:accessible-name" events. 2/ Nothing is done here for Control-G (Find Next) or Shift-Control-G (Find Previous). If you need that functionality, then it can also done via the Find dialog, which now speaks it nicely.
Changes checked into CVS HEAD. Closing as FIXED.
