Feedback on the New Ubuntu Installer

[Al Puzzuoli]

Interesting. I can arrow through the languages, but for some reason, it's reading all of them as greyed. Maybe there's something else going on here but not sure what. I haven't gotten far enough for anything else to break yet. 😉
Another issue is I can't seem to use flat review and Orca isn't telling me  which option has the star, even with punctuation set to all.
 I'm wondering if there is a glitch going on with this live image. Maybe I'll try a newer one.

That's odd.  Usually language selection uses two color sets one different from all others on one of the choices.  The other thing language selection usually does which I find far more accessible is to place sets of brackets left of each item one of which contains a star and the rest contain blanks.  The one with the star is the selected language.  To move the current language use the up and down arrow keys but those only move the highlight.  To select press the spacebar.
