[SRU] New stable release 3.36.2

[Iain Lane]

[ Description ]

GNOME upstream have released a new stable version of orca.

Changes:

3.36.2 - 23 April 2020

Chromium:

 * Fix chattiness issue resulting from failing to consider the prior
   object when generating labelOrName

 * Improve responsiveness of text selection in large objects

 * Prevent double-speaking of ARIA combobox value

 * Don't speak child position for popup menus (it's always 1 of 1)

Web:

 * Fix bug causing us to present stale value information for ARIA
   range widgets

 * Don't present load completed or page summary information if we are
   in focus mode for a valid object

 * Don't present loading message from pages which have no URI (fixes
   some chattiness when launching Firefox)

 * Work harder to find presentable text for ARIA alert role

 * Don't iterate through all children of very complex SVGs (improves
   performance)

 * Only present comment role when first entering the comment (chattiness)

 * Fix bug causing us to not present text which is directly inside a
   scroll pane

 * Fix bug causing us to present stale information in rich-text editors

Mouse Review:

 * Fix mouse review on some web elements after scrolling

General:

 * Don't present position in list for comboboxes which lack children

 * Fix bug causing us to not present changes in already-focused terminal
   when Orca is launched

 * Improve presentation of status bar labels

 * Fix bug causing us to not echo text insertions

[ QA ]

GNOME has a micro release exception that covers this package.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

So we don't need to verify the fixes explicitly.

Install the desktop and exercise the screen reader in a variety of situations.

Optionally, but ideally, test the installer too.

There are some changes in here relating to Chromium and web browsers, so maybe check those.

[ Regression potential ]

If this update is busted the screen reader might not work. In a more targetted way, if some of the browser-related fixes are bad then we could regress browser support.

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted orca into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/orca/3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
