When I have the screen reader activated, Konsole's UI and user input fields are read, but output returned from programs is not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the Fedora 41 KDE RC ISO 2. Boot it 3. Activate screen reader with Meta+Alt+S 4. Open Konsole with Ctrl+Alt+T 5. Type "ls" and run it. Actual Results: Orca reads the input "ls" but does not read what "ls" returns. Expected Results: Orca reads the input "ls" and reads what "ls" returns.
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.
Note that I can get it read everything properly if I double-press + on the number pad, but that doesn't work if I don't have a number pad, and I can't find a way to configure it to read it fully without the key press.
"Note that I can get it read everything properly if I double-press + on the number pad" Why? is that a feature of orca? Does it indicate it's in a wrong mode or something?
to answer my own question, https://a11ysupport.io/learn/at/orca documents "Key Pad Plus" as "start reading from current position"...so...hmm. Does that mean it's getting confused, stopping reading "too early", but then hitting plus a couple of times causes it to pick up and keep going? Or...something else? Might help to have an experinced orca user/dev look at this...
Discussed during the 2024-10-21 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as a RejectedBlocker (Final), AcceptedFreezeException (Final) was made: "This is rejected as a blocker as the problem is not too critical: screen reading works, and all content can be read, it just seems necessary to prompt the reader to continue (using the normal key for this purpose) at points where it seems like that shouldn't be necessary. we also note that this is not new behaviour (previous releases behaved the same)."
