GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 138648
verbose presentation prevents output from ALERT dialogs
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
using gnopernicus from CVS HEAD Mar 31 confirmed also in gnopernicus 0.8.1-1 -launch gnopernicus -choose 'verbose' presentation mode -edit a file in gedit -choose 'quit' .the 'Save Changes' dialog pops up. The confirmation question starts to be spoken but is interrupted immediately and the initially focused button is output instead. This may relate to bug 138607 where an extra speech event is occuring. This is also happening in the 'empty trash' dialog.
What TTS are you using? With festival this behaviour is normal, because of the absence of speech markers.
I am using FreeTTS speech driver.
Can you send me the content of ~/.orbitrc file?
I did not have a .orbitrc file. I added one with 'ORBIIOPIPv4=1' and 'ORBIIOPUNIX=0'. The bug seems to have disappeared.. I'm getting inconsistent results though, as earlier today the bug was happening with default and was solved selecting verbose..
In case of missing of that file, FreeTTs behaves in same way as festival.
I have not had a chance to properly verify this on my system. I may reopen if I find it still to be present.
