GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 143518
Speech is partially working within the content application or web page
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Speech is not fully working within the application/web beyond the menu and tool bars ... Steps: 1. Bring up Gnopernicus 2. Enable Speech only 3. Open up any applications (i.e. Mozilla or open office) 4. Keyboard Nav, do <alt f> 5. Listen for speech, then once done annoucning, hit <ESC> to get out 6. Begin to <tab> down to content of the page or data 7. Listen for speech Speech is only working partially and not fully working with all contents within the page or application.
This bug is too general. Please specify a scenario where gnopernicus fails to work. Also check if the other app is accessible, specially if the curent object is. For this you can use at-poke application. Also you can check if that application fires events. For that you have to set GNOPERNICUS_LOG environment variable to at-spi (export GNOPERNICUS_LOG=at-spi). If you will not get any event, then this is not a gnopernicus bug.
1. "Please specify a scenario where gnopernicus fails to work." PLease see above steps in orginal msg to reproduce. 2. "Also check if the other app is accessible," Please see detail above original msg. Other apps have the same problem (tested with Mozilla and OpenOffice applications, etc.). 3. GNOPERNICUS_LOG wise, if you want a stack trace or coredump trace, please let me know. I can try to capture that for you, since I'm not too familiar with what you recomend me to do in your comment #1. If you still want me to provide what you're asking, please let me know in Detail how to obtain this info for you.
On my computer, the bug cannot be reproduced. That's why I asked you about a more specific scenario. I'm trying to see if this is a gnopernicus bug, a gnome-speech bug or an app bug. If events are still coming to gnopernicus (this can be checked by exporting GNOIPERNICUS_LOG and viewing in the terminal from where gnopernicus was started a feedback for all your actions) this is not an app bug. If gnopernicus send a text to speech and that text is not spoken, then this is a gnome-speech bug. This can be checked by turning on braille monitor and looking if it reflects your actions in same scenarios where it did. So, please turn on braille monitor and check if it is still working for you. Usually if gnopernicus sends something to speech, it sends to braille monitor too, specially for focus tracking.
Thanks for the info. I did turn on braille monitor and using the procedure/steps above to reproduce. Braille monitor stops showing current msg (as soon as gnopernicus speech quits working), while I gracefully <TABs> thru application page. Speech is only working partially and not fully working within the content of the page or application. For those non-working items, when speech is not working, braille monitor only show last working text, not current one.
If both speech and brlmonitor stop working for some items and start working again for another items (so this is not an srcore crash), the explanation is that gnopernicus does not receive at-spi events for some objects. This is the same problem like the one described in bug #154246, comment #4.
