GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 696007
Regression: No accessible names or labels for search results
Last modified: 2013-03-18 16:13:59 UTC
Created attachment 239070 [details] accessible-event listener Steps to reproduce (in gnome-shell master): 1. Launch the attached listener in a terminal 2. Press Alt+F1 3. Type a letter or two to get some search results 4. Arrow amongst the results Expected: The listener would dump out objects that either have an accessible name or an accessible label. Actual: The listener dumps out objects that lack a name and also lack accessible labels. Impact: When you arrow amongst the search results, Orca presents each one as "push button" and users who are blind don't know what the results are. This is a regression from gnome-shell 3.6 and seems limited to search results. Everything else continues to be named or labelled.

Just gave these a spin. Solves the problem. Yay!! :) (And thank you for the uber-fast fix Jasper.)
I don't have Release Team super powers to set the target of this bug, but I really think this should be considered a blocker for 3.8. (Assuming Jasper is waiting for a review, is hesitant to commit it this close to code freeze, whatever....)

FWIW, I think that those patches are relevant and safe enough for asking for a freeze break request if are not included due lack of time on the release of this monday.
