1732945 - ORCA does not read the permission door hanger correctly when it is displayed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1699059

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[Daniel Bodea [:danibodea]]

Note

• When the attempts to join a WebRTC call while using ORCA Screen Reader, he will notice that, when the permission door hanger is displayed, ORCA will only say "Alert" instead of reading it fully.

Affected versions

• Nightly v94.0a1

Affected platforms

• Ubuntu 20

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch browser and ORCA Screen Reader.
2. Load: whereby.com/olacreola
3. Press Enter to request permissions.
   Notice that the permission door hanger is displayed.

Expected result

• ORCA Screen Reader reads the whole permission door hanger's text and voices the shortcuts. (Ctrl + B to Block; Ctrl + A to Allow)

Actual result

• ORCA Screen Reader only voices "Alert."

Regression range

• Appears to be a regression:
  Bug 1697295 - Replace camera and microphone labels with icons in WebRTC permission panel when Proton is enabled. r=pbz,Jamie,fluent-reviewers,desktop-theme-reviewers,harry,Gijs
  This is not an exhaustive redress of the WebRTC panel. It just replaces the labels
  preceding the camera/microphone selectors with icons if Proton is enabled. There's
  still a bunch of styling work to do in this panel for Proton, but that will occur
  in a follow-up patch.

  2021-09-28T22:59:25.303000: INFO : Stopped

• Furthermore, on different builds, the doorhanger is read once, and on others it is read twice.

Additional notes

• If this regression is resolved, then an enhancement to vocalize the shortcuts/hotkeys should be logged.

This is a duplicate of bug 1699059. One note, though:

(In reply to Bodea Daniel [:danibodea] from comment #0)

• ORCA Screen Reader reads the whole permission door hanger's text and voices the shortcuts. (Ctrl + B to Block; Ctrl + A to Allow)

Even though NVDA reads the shortcuts, this is not the expected or intended behaviour for Orca. It should read the text, however.
