Dear List!

I seeing some interesting problem with the new Ubiquity installer frontend:
1. When the language dialog is displayed (step 2), if I tabbed the
language combobox, the selected language is not spokened my machine.
2. The keyboard laiout dialog (step 4), Orca says the "suggested
option:" radiobutton item, but not spoken what the suggested keyboard
layout after the "Suggested keyboard layout:" text. I see only the
suggested keyboard layout with flat review mode. Possible fix this with
final release?
3. The partitioner part (step 5) I see a scroll table item. What the
task this table control? Now I using the radio buttons (use entire disk,
manual partition etc). The old partitioner dialog is better with this
new dialog. Possible fix this dialog with accessibility purpose?
4. The last summary dialog (step 8) Orca says the read-only edit box
control, but impossible moving this control with the arrow keys, Orca
does'nt speak the summary informations, only the flatreview command help.
5. Very lot of the untranslated dialogs now with the frontend. What can
the url of the translation this frontend with launchpad? Or this dialogs
now not translatable?
6. All buttons (forward, back, quit) Orca says with the installer
frontend with following:
_forward, _back, _quit.
Some buttons are not have a mnemonics letter, for example when the user
give a too short password, or the final summarize dialog (forward button).

Thanks,

Attila
