Description Neal Gompa 2024-10-20 16:12:01 UTC

When I activate the screen reader with Meta+Alt+S, Orca starts up but does does not read the shell itself (e.g. it doesn't tell me about the application launcher when pressing Meta+Alt+P or pressing meta to make the launcher show up).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Fedora 41 KDE RC ISO
2. Boot it
3. Activate screen reader with Meta+Alt+S

Actual Results:  
After "Screen reader on" is said, nothing is read.

Expected Results:  
After "Screen reader on" is said, Plasma Welcome should be read to you saying "Welcome to Fedora" and some such. Navigating the shell via key combinations should also trigger it to read the shell to you.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2024-10-20 16:13:42 UTC

Proposed as a Blocker for 41-final by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because:

 This is conditional violation of all desktop related criteria for KDE for all people who need a screen reader.

Comment 2 Alessandro Astone 2024-10-20 22:27:00 UTC

Proposed fix in Qt: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/598549
