[orca-list] Problems with Orca and pidgin...seems to be an at-spi2-core issue

[Guy Schlosser]

Hi Jakob, yes, I can confirm the issue with pidgin as far as speech 
goes.  Whenever I press enter after typing in a message, orca does not 
read it.  The other thing I've noticed, is that some times I cannot see 
new messages from others, until I've already started typing again.  I am 
however, happy to see the other accessibility bugs worked out.  Hud is 
working in Unity 2d, and for the most part, I'm able to use skype.  I'm 
a happy user/tester, and can't wait to recommend Ubuntu Precise to my 
friends and family using Ubuntu, after final release.  Hopefully the 
pidgin bug can be ironed out before final release, or shortly after as 
perhaps a service update.

Loving the progress,


Guy
