I installed debian wheezy with the talking installer and everything went
fine. However, when I installed orca with apt, I noticed that apt wanted
to auto-remove libgail-common and without this package, some things in
orca are broken. The old at-spi package depended on libgail-common but

Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply. I tried the

In my XFCE environment, It appears that the problem is occurring from a
Gtk module import path issue. I coppied the
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules directory to /usr/lib/gtk-2.0
and things work for me in the Mozilla apps.

Hello,
I recently installed Stretch on two test laptops (both amd) and had no
speech from Orca after install, however, braille does work fine with
Orca and in the console and Speakup talks fine as well. I used the
non-free rc1 image because the wireless cards in both machines require
firmware. One

Hello,
I notice that while using Orca with Speech Dispatcher and Flite, the end
of most phrases are cut off. It usually cuts off the second half of the
last word spoken. I was just wondering if anyone has noticed this before
and knows of a fix if one exists. Thanks.
Hello,
I have all the latest packages installed for the testing release. I
notice that almost every time I close firefox-esr, I get a message that
it has crashed. I guess I am not sure if this is an accessibility
related issue. The reason I think it might be is because if these

I was able to reproduce this as well when using RC4 of the Debian
Installer for Stretch when using the s option from the boot menu. I
found that I was not always able to interrupt speech with a keyboard
command. When the speech finally stopped, it seemed to repeat different
parts of the phrase.

I should add that I was running the Firefox 57 Beta from Experimental
previously so the problem occurred with the upgrade to 58.

I noticed that when launchin Firefox 58 from the Debian experimental
repo, Orca only says "frame" and does not speak any other information.
When I download a prebuilt version of Firefox 58 Beta 4 from Mozilla, it
functions correctly with Orca. I was just wondering if anyone else can
reproduce

I noticed that the shortcut to switch between panels in a popup
(Control+Alt+Tab is unbound in Debian in the latest testing. I was not sure if
this was done for some reason or if this might be a bug? It seems bound in
other Linux's but maybe it conflicts with something I am not aware of
