See Orca bug #490317 which is blocked by this problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Orca. Set Orca's key echo to words 2. Launch Evolution and press Control+N to compose a new message 3. Tab to the body of the message 4. Type a few words, press Return. Rinse and repeat. Expected results: Orca would not echo the first character typed at the start of each new line in the message. Actual results: Orca does echo the character typed at the start of each new line in the message. Comment 1 of bug #490317 describes the problem in more detail. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490317#c1 What is probably the real problem here is that we are getting a "focus:" event for two different accessible objects.
Bumping version to a stable release.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
