Hy,
I doed an uptodated Oneiric custom live CD, and installed my system.
Final Oneiric installer I found lot of dialogs with have focusable
labels, with perhaps not real connected with the active widgets. With
TAB key possible jumping this labels.
A typical example is the modify partition dialog if the user using
manual partitioning, or giving user account related informations dialog.
In Precise possible little redesigning with labels usage for A11y
related to prowide fastest screen reader handling the installer without
losting visual lookup?
Some label widgets with associated a real widget not have mnemonic
letter now, this is an another way to fasting installer handling if the
user known already the widget keystroke.
I reported this problem with following bugreport, and wrote some
examples and suggestions:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888451
Now used method some time disturb the installer fastest handling with
screen reader, because always need jumping this focusable labels before
filling required informations. But in installer accessibility support
are happened good changes already.
Future I would like working this fix if accepting this help for screen
reader using fixes related, but I need some technical help before begin
this task:
1. Real time when Ubiquity package is building executing any patch in
debian/patches directory with affecting the UI files final presenting?
So, the Ubiquity GTK dialogs related ui files is dinamicaly changing
when the package building is happening in the repository or local machine?
2. Have an easyest testing method when I would like testing a dialog
part in Ubiquity installer to verify my modifications with Orca screen
reader usability without I need looking all installation screens and
doing real installation?
When I doing a modification with proper UI file, I would like testing
for example I real associated a label with proper widget, Orca right
spokening the wanted information, etc.
