Description Daniel Dalton 2008-02-14 08:24:33 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When I activate the about gnome item in system/about gnome and I use flat review I hear nothing except:

The cancel button and "pannel".

I think this screen is the one that would tell me what version of gnome I am running.
So:
-Is this screen not accessible with all versions of gnome?
-Or should I build gnome from source so I have the latest gnome?

If I need to update my gnome what should I do to do this?
I am using debian lenny.

For the time being while this is been worked on is there a way to check my gnome version for future bug reports?

Thanks to anyone that looks into this!


Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
Not much useful information is spoken.

Expected results:
The screen to be voiced and the information to be accessible with speech and braille.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:

Ok same happens with braille... Also it says and brailles "separator". And finally I meant "close" not "Cacnel".
Thanks. (And hopefully I added the comment right.)

> -Is this screen not accessible with all versions of gnome?

It's an existing bug against libgnomecanvas:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359635

Which we're tracking via this bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355524

> -Or should I build gnome from source so I have the latest gnome?

I will leave that question to others.  <smile>  Perhaps ask on the list?

> If I need to update my gnome what should I do to do this?
> I am using debian lenny.

The list would probably be a good place to make some inquiries.  To my knowledge, all of the Orca developers are using Ubuntu and Solaris (or OpenSolaris).

Command line: gnome-about --version

Hope this is of some help.
