Description

[Attila Hammer]

Attachment: test.html with possible testing the reproducation steps with Orca

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131101120755

Steps to reproduce:

Open the attached html file.
Press CTRL+HOME keystroke and try reading the html content with arrow keys.
Firefox 24.0 everithing trivial caret navigation works right, since Firefox 25.0 not.
Unfortunately this issue happened with Ubuntu 12.04, Orca Screen Reader 3.4.2 and at-spi2-core 3.4.2.


Actual results:

Firefox 25.0 and 26.0 actual beta simple skip some lines with normal arrow keys caret navigation.


Expected results:

If the user using for example down arrow keys, line by line need Orca spokening the correct highlighted line.

An example link with I reproduced the reported issue since Firefox 24.0 upgraded my Ubuntu 12.04.3 with Firefox 25.0:
http://www.origo.hu/hirmondo/techbazis/internet/20131029-4g-re-gyur-a-telekom.html

This webpage unable to scroll the opened articles with line by line.
When I press CTRL+HOME keystroke and a down arrow, the caret jumping
wrong place, not the next line.
Because I would like using my LTS supported system, not have other solution I need downgraded with Firefox 24.0 to have possibility to use Orca the web browser.
If need any debugging test, please tell me and I welcome doing the test.

Attila, do you have an environment where you can test Orca master with Firefox 25? When I look at that page, ctrl+home and using down arrow to read line by line is working.

I know that won't help you in your LTS environment, but it would be good to be able to distinguish regressions introduced in Firefox from fixes made in Firefox that the old Orca isn't working with.

Hi Joanie,

Yes, I have an Ubuntu 13.10 environment, but not migrated yet with Orca master version.
Day by day I using my LTS environment with normal productive awerage works with not require newest components.
Tomorrow I will be looking what the case with Orca master version with the linked article and my attached HTML file.

Joanie, I created a small testing html file to I test latest caret navigation problems in Orca master version.
Common situations I not founded any problems, except the list item simbol Orca is not spokening with arrow keys or when the user using the i structural navigation command.
The following webpage if I pressed CTRL+END keystroke and press few up arrow keys, Orca two time spokening the separator item:
http://www.origo.hu/hirmondo/legfrissebb/20131122-ujabb-szolgaltatasnak-inthet-bucsut-a-nokia.html
Reproducation steps:
1. Open the link.
2. Press CTRL+END keystroke, and press a down arrow key. You will be hear "vissza a kezdőlapra" link text.
3. Press one up arrow, you will be hear "separator" text.
4. Press again an up arrow key, you will be hear "separator" text again.
My Firefox enabled the cursor browsing with F7 key.

An another interesting situation when in Firefox 25.0 Orca founding an image, reproducation steps:
1. Open the article link.
2. Press CTRL+END keystroke.
3. Press more up arrow keys until not positioned the first image. I lot of time hearing the image text, so possible have more images.
4. Press down arrow keys. This situation Orca not always spokening the image role, or not always spokening the blank line.
If need, I create a separate report this three issues.

Thanks Attila. I'll look into the new issues and if need be file bugs where they belong. Adding new issues -- which may or may not be Firefox/Gecko bugs -- to this report just clutters things up and makes triaging harder. Which brings me to the following:

As for this original, broad bug (Firefox 25 not working in Ubuntu 12.04), I'm not sure what can be done. But given the fact that generally speaking you are seeing that Orca master does work with Firefox 25, it seems like a downstream distro issue and not a Mozilla issue.

Ubuntu 12.04 is no longer being supported. Closing.
