Bug Description
Dear Developers,

Unfortunately, have a third menu item in the indicator with Orca nothing spokening. Possible this is an empty menu item?
Can you investigate this problem?

I think this item is a silent menu item (or slider style widget).
If I press left or right arrow key, the sound volume is increased or
decreased right, but not happening any events to visual impaired user
know the change.
Possible associate this widget a translatable accessible name or
description and spokening for example in percentage the actual volume
when the value is changed with arrow key presses?

Looking a little deeper into this, it looks like it needs to be handled in i-sound.

Work is needed to update the accessible name of the object with the percentage of the volume, and have this somehow announced when you press left/right to adjust the volume. Its not that high a priority, and I ran out of time to get it done this cycle, but we may be able to get a fix in as an SRU for it. I'll see if I can find some time in the coming weeks to work on it.
Conor Curran (cjcurran) wrote : | #6 |
Luke, I tried this in the branch above.
On a prop update on the indicator side, i tried to set the name but still no sign. Please check the last two commits on that branch to see if they are going in the right direction.
Luke Yelavich (themuso) wrote : | #7 |
What you have in that branch is not going to work because the code is trying to work with a child widget of the menu item. I think setting the DBUSMENU_
Conor Curran (cjcurran) wrote : | #8 |
Previously Luke you had added this method to the indicator-sound.c.
void
update_
{
GList *entries = indicator_
if (!entries)
return;
IndicatorObje
IndicatorSoun
gchar *old_desc = priv->accessibl
if (priv->
priv-
}
else {
priv-
}
entry-
g_free (old_desc);
g_signal_
0,
g_list_
}
This is called after a successful property update is received in the volume-widget (just after the said code above). Are you now suggesting that this method needs to call a dbusmenu_
Conor Curran (cjcurran) wrote : | #9 |
Luke, I have updated that branch to just set that property on the respective dbusmenuitem. It seems now to work fine when the item is initially focused but it does not broadcast a volume property update, it's only when you move to the slider item will Orca relay the volume. Is this the correct behaviour ?

Will release with the fix in the branch above. It can be improved upon when I get to talk with Luke in two weeks.

Hy Martin,
Sorry the long delay answer, but this day I am not home before 17:00 PM.
I experienced following positive change in sound indicator the GNOME3
fallback session:
If I go to sound indicator and moving between menu items with up or down
arrow key, Orca wonderful spokening me the actual system volume
(prewious this menu item is full silent before not land this fix with
the indicator-sound package).
Only need resolving one problem if technical this is possible:
When I go to this new accessible menu item and using left or right
arrows, the volume meter change doesn't announced Orca my system, but
volume meter increasing or decreasing are happening right. Not possible
sending this situation the volume percentage value (30%, 33%, etc), or
the actual a11y description text with this menu item?
Only percentage sending the left or right arrow keypresses I think is
shorter output, and don't disturb the user when want fast changing the
volume meter with left or right arrow keys.
If technical not possible resolving this type issue, users when changed
the system volume with left or right arrow key need using Orca where am
I function to listening again the changed volume meter menu item a11y
description.

Setting to verification-done, the fix seems to not be perfect but address part of the problem and there is no reason to block the SRU, we might want to reopen the bug after it moves to update to address the left,right issue though

Hy,
I used Joan Marie Diggs Orca developer wroted test script to look what state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: iconified( 0, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: iconified( 0, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete]
the output with this silent menu item.
I pasted the output:

The interesting think is following part: state-changed: selected( 1, 0, 0) applet- complete] "
"object:

host_application: [application | indicator-
What the purpose this silent menu item? This menu item doesn't have a label?
