GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 733712
Need a means to identify when the graphical desktop has been entered or left
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:45:25 UTC
There does not appear to be a reliable way for assistive technologies to identify when a user has entered a virtual console and then returned to the graphical desktop. Having a means to achieve this would make it possible for Orca to restore the Orca modifier.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-core/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
