GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 363423
Orca will not provide access to the Applications menu if in a Gaim chat window

Please describe the problem: When in a Gaim chat window, pressing Alt F1 will put you in the Applications menu, but Orca no longer provides access to the menu items via speech or braille. This problem seems only to occur when focus is in a Gaim chat window (as opposed to the buddy list) Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Orca 2. Launch Gaim 3. Arrow to one of the "buddies" in your buddy list and press Enter. 4. Press Alt F1 for the Applications menu and use Up and Down Arrow to navigate Actual results: You move to and can navigate within the Applications menu. Expected results: Orca would speak/display in braille each item navigated to. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: This seems to have just cropped up with the latest build from CVS HEAD. I'm using Edgy and Gaim 2.0 beta 3.1.
Created attachment 75016 [details] Full debug.out
Created attachment 75029 [details] [review] Patch to fix the problem. This was an unfortunate side-effect of the fix for bug #348693. We need to provide a simple script for gnome-panel that will set self->presentIfInactive to True. I wonder how many more instances like this we'll need...
Changes checked into CVS HEAD. Closing as FIXED.
Created attachment 75030 [details] [review] Patch to reverse the default setting for presentIfInactive On second thoughts, we are going to adjust presentIfInactive to default to True, then adjust the scripts that need to turn it off. Better to be too verbose than to be silent.
