Bug ID: 508487
Summary: Overview not accessible to screen readers
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-window-management
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Th Overview effect doesn't appear to be properly exposed to screen readers; I
can't figure out how to navigate it beyond switching between existing
workspaces and somehow accidentally creating new ones.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable orca
2. Open Overview with Meta+W
3. Just try to navigate it with the keyboard.
OBSERVED RESULT
I don't hear the names of workspaces when I switch between them. I can't figure
out how to switch between specific windows in my current workspace. Somehow I
accidentally created several workspaces because I focused a button that was
never read to me. If I do switch to a workspace that has windows open on it, I
hear the active UI element within the window I had focused in that workspace
(if any). Example, if I'm in the KDE ACcessibility room in NeoChat and that
window happened to be in focus, I'll hear the name of the room when I open
Overview. I won't hear that it's NeoChat, though.
EXPECTED RESULT
I definitely shouldn't have created several unwanted desktops by accident, and
I should hear workspace/window names when navigating thruogh the Overview UI. I
should be able to naturally figure out how to switch between windows within a
workspace, without having done that before.
