GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 475678
Orca stops providing access to Gedit documents after Go To Line is used
Last modified: 2008-07-22 19:32:57 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Gedit and open a document. 2. Press Control I for Gedit's Go To Line feature. Type a number and press Enter. 3. Having been returned to the document, use the arrow keys to read the contents. Expected results: After step 2, Orca would indicate that focus had been returned to the document. After step 3, Orca would provide access to the document contents. Actual results: Orca is silent and the braille display indicates that focus is still in the Go To Line entry. It seems that we're not getting the object:state-changed:focused events we need from the document. I tried to "hack around" this issue on our end, but the document lacks STATE_FOCUSED at this point. :-( We really need the Gedit guys to fix this one for us.
I always thought that focus just wasn't getting put back into the document. To work around this you can press CTRL+tab twice to get put into the document tabs and then press down arrow to be placed at the expected point in the document.
Just assigning this one to Joanie for tracking.
The blocking bug has been fixed and verified. Marking this one as fixed. Woo woo!
