Re: [orca-list] Orca, FF and Youtube



It looks like Orca is not always respecting the live-regions-off setting. Will investigate. Stay tuned.

Nope you and I are on about the same issue Joany, is there anything I can do from Orca's side of things to stop it happening though. Well, aside from using other methods of Youtube watching that is.

    Nolan, I left the live regions at the default when installing Ubuntu Mate, I don't recall what it is off the top of my head, and to test this I spun up a VM and tried the different live region settings. From my brief few minutes of horribly unscientific testing.....the live region setting doesn't seem (at least here) to do anything.

Hey Jace.

I'm not seeing the sidebar spoken, but Orca is reading parts of the page to me. In my case it's because Orca believes they are live region messages. This leads me to a follow-up question. You said:

Do you mean that NVDA is showing the same behavior as Orca? In other words, in both cases you are telling the screen reader to not speak this stuff and in both cases the screen reader (NVDA and Orca) are each speaking the unwanted stuff? If that's the case, then I guess it's probably a change in YouTube. If that's not the case and you mean something else, please clarify.

Hey list, ran across this the other day and wanted to know if it's just me.

Running the latest orca-master, latest Firefox.

If I go to Youtube and launch a video, it speaks the page even when I have that option turned off. For comparison, I set NVDA up on a different computer the exact same way re: reading pages automatically. It does the same thing. Is it an Orca/atspi issue, or did Youtube change something on their end?

TO reproduce:

1. Open Firefox, and then Orca prefs. Turn off the present summary of a page... and automatically start speaking... options.


2. Go to youtube.com and load up any video


3. You should hear the contents of the page (in my case the sidebar) being read out automatically


Sienote: I've had issues with hitting control to silence Orca, sometimes, and it *might* just be a Firefox issue, Youtube's page starts speaking after I've pressed a key to silence it, for example test video level three *press shift or control* test video 2 level 3. I have to press control multiple times to silence Youtube.

Anyone else run into this or is it just me?

Jace
