Description Jean-Philippe MENGUAL 2015-04-20 00:55:55 UTC
* What led up to the situation?

View a document with some changes proposal without changeslog mode, but with
different colours or family characters.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

To know the layout, Orca+f enables to know the formatting. But it's impossible
to press orca+f for each character to know its formatting.


   * What was the outcome of this action?

Orca has no feature to speak the formatting changes on-the-fly.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Orca should be able to say the formatting change on-the-fly. It should be a
toogle option.

I'm taking this one.

If this problem still exists and is an Orca issue (rather than an issue in some other application), please file a new issue in gitlab. Thanks!
