Pyatspi tester script to illustrate the problem without Orca (434 bytes, text/plain)
2012-08-07 13:57 UTC, Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 		Details

Description Mesar Hameed 2012-08-07 13:22:30 UTC 
using:
debian testing amd64, gnome-3.4.2, empathy 3.4.2.3
with either orca 3.4.2, or orca 3.5.90pre, when any of empathy's windows are focused, any orca 
keybindings are passed through to the application rather than performing the given orca 
function.

Pyatspi tester script to illustrate the problem without Orca

Steps to reproduce:
1. Quit Orca (if it was running)
2. Launch the attached tester script in a terminal
3. Give focus to various Gtk-based applications and press and release keys

Expected results: The key presses and releases would be logged in the terminal window for all applications.

Actual results: The key presses and releases are logged for all applications but Empathy.

Because Orca is not being told about the key presses and releases, Orca commands cannot work.
Comment 4 Mesar Hameed 2012-08-07 20:03:28 UTC 
Joanie, just found another instance where this also happens.
open up gnome-control-center, and orca keys are again being missed.
Maybe empathy is not at fault, but something higher up the chain?
Can you reproduce this one?
