GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 517336
Spaces interfere with Orca's ability to get the line contents
Last modified: 2008-07-22 19:33:49 UTC
When reading a table by line (as opposed to Orca's table navigation commands), we sometimes pick up the text from previous cells. Example 1: View the list of bugs in bugzilla being sure that the patch icon appears below the bug number (and hence the cell contains two lines). When you press Down Arrow, you'll land in the second cell and hear the remainder of the line (which I assume is the expected/desired behavior), but Orca will also speak the first cell. Example 2: From Javier: Browsing the http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyone some information in some lines seems to don't appear. 1. Open http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyone 2. Go to the first table by pressing t 3. Read by line Some dates are not read. E.G february 11 Only february GNOME is read.
This is a bigger issue than mere tables. We're getting thrown off by the presence of a space. Patch to follow.
Created attachment 105868 [details] [review] revision 1 This patch seems to solve a number of problems I've been seeing in terms of knowing when we're done getting the line contents. Pylinted already. Still need to run the regression tests (which I'll start now). In the meantime, please test.

Just ran the regression tests. No regressions and it had the unexpected benefit of removing some extra (unwanted) whitespace. Yea!
I just tested this one on a bunch of sites and it seems good.
Thanks Mike. Patch (and updated regression tests) committed. Moving to pending.
