Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2015-05-31 02:33:36 UTC 
Historically, we've presented list item count and nesting level for all Gecko lists. But for other content, this is done as part of the speech generation and has its own set of preferences. We need to do a couple of things:

1. Figure out what all gets presented when
2. Bring Gecko into alignment with the above decision

Users are encouraged to comment here about what they want so I can make it so. :)

my logic goes like this. For lists, orca should say something like "name list, item 1" If speak child positions is turned on in orca's preferences, arrowing around will cause "item 2. 2 of x", etc. If not, you should hear something like "item 2." What I'm not sure about is whether orca should announce the number of items in the list when you first encounter it. Some people will want it, some won't, and extra config options will just make orca's preferences dialog more complicated. Thoughts?
