GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 353432
[blocked] Rename file in nautilus not spoken properly.
Last modified: 2008-07-22 19:24:06 UTC
[This is an Orca bug that currently depends upon a bug in another GNOME module. It's been opened here so that if the problem is reported again, it can be closed as a duplicate of this bug. Once the other module problem is fixed, we will be easily able to check whether it fixes the original Orca problem]. Steps to reproduce: * Start Orca * Start up Nautilus in icon view. * Create a new folder. Double click to view that (empty) folder. * Create a new empty document. * Rename it to be called "filea". * In the Nautilus window, give focus to the "filea" icon (if it doesn't already have focus). * Press F2 to bring up the file name text area. * Enter a new file name of "fileb" (without the quotes) and press Return.
Thank you! We'll keep this blocks/depends relationship so Orca users that read the Orca bug reports know that we're aware of this and are tracking it.
I tested with Nautilus 2.16.1 and found the same problem occurring. After changing the file name from "alpha" to "beta" and hitting return, "alpha" is spoken even though "beta" is displayed under the file icon.
This is a good data point. Remember, however, that the patch on the blocking bug has not been committed. You need to apply it, rebuild nautilus, test it, and let the patch submitter know the results. BTW, if it doesn't work, don't automatically assume it isn't Orca. We might be getting the information we need as a result of the patch, but we aren't doing the right thing with it. Thanks!
Created attachment 76229 [details] [review] Defensive patch to not repeat name change events for things whose name really hasn't changed This seems to help with the problem and also provides some defense to the more general AT-SPI bug: we sometimes get name changed events for things whose names are not changing.
With the nautilus patch from the blocking bug and the defensive patch in Orca, the problem appears to be fixed. Closing.
