[Bug 1105371] Re: Orca is skipping key details of the updates list

[Dylan McCall]

** Description changed:

  With the new updates tree view, Orca is correctly reading the name of
  each update (and whether it can be expanded), but it never reads the
- toggle cell in the Update column. This means a vision-impaired user has
+ toggle cell in the Install column. This means a vision-impaired user has
  no way of knowing which updates are selected and which are not. This is
  a regression from Ubuntu 12.10. We need to convince the screen reader to
  mention whether an update is toggled.
  
  In addition, the screen reader currently says "Image" for every cell in
  restart_column, even when (99% of the time) there is no image visible.
  This is noisy and unhelpful. Instead, Orca should say nothing for this
  cell, unless the restart required icon is being displayed, in which case
  it should say "Restart required".
  
  These issues were observed Using Orca 3.7.0.94 and GTK+ 3.6.2 in Ubuntu
  12.10.
