Description chris 2012-06-05 17:28:57 UTC 
i try to send an new mail, but orca wont have access to the textarea of the new message window of evolution.

1. open evolution and hit f7 (if not already active) to activate caret mode.
2. strg + n for opening a new mail
3. navigate via tab to the message text area
4. try to write an message

result: orca wont tell me if im in the message area or read my inserted text. orca only say "panel".

Here is a list of open Evolution bugs related to Accessibility:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=423346&hide_resolved=1

The reported bug could be a combination of the ones reported. Rather than invest time to figure out exactly which bug or bugs is to blame, I am going to close this out as a dupe of 677500 so that I can resume my focus working on Orca.

Yet again I encourage the reporter to start with the Orca list rather than with Bugzilla.
