- enable java accessibility Enable +kb extentions. Go to /usr/java/jre/lib - Create link ln -s /usr/share/jar/accessibility.properties - Go to /usr/java/t/jre/lib/ext - Create link ln -s /usr/share/jar/gnome-java-bridge.jar (logout+in) Enable a11y: gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility --type=boolean true Install local installation soffice, using /usr/java/jre (1.5.0) as its default java. Launch gnopernicus (Launch, application screen read and magnifier) select startup mode, enable braille monitor, disable all other options restart gnopernicus, launch jedit or staroffice (text) document enter some text Nothing is displayed in the braille monitor expected result. typed text should be displayed in the braille monitor (Note GOK functions with these applications)
If you launch gnopernicus with brlmon _and_ speech enabled do you hear something? Does speech work with these applications?
John, I followed your scenario (I created the two links and I installed StarOffice using /usr/java/jre(1.5.0) as its default java). Gnopernicus (not only brlmon) does not read StarOffice but I checked using at-poke and this application is not accessible. Can you please check wit at-poke to see if SO is really accessible on your machine?
Probably I missed something, because I tried again and now I have an accessible SO.
I am not able to entirely reproduce this bug. Gnopernicus (speech and brlmon) partially work with Star Office: - if I type something in a TextDocument, the content is outputted by speech and brlmon - if I access a menu item, it is not reported. In this case there is no at-spi event indicating that a menu item was accessed. If I run gnopernicus with GNOPERNICUS_LOG=at-spi all I receive by moving between menu items are key events. John, do you see the same behavior on your machine?

Hello. I'm very sorry for the delay in my reply. Firstly, I didn't strictly log this bug, I just imported it from our internal tracking system. After taking some time to examine the problem, I have no trouble in getting the braille monitor to work with StarOffice, with or without speech enabled. Jedit isn't accessible at all, as I've been informed, so that doesn't concern me. Im closing this bug, as I can't reproduce the conditions.
