Dear List, I reported detailed my prewious wrote problem with a bugreport with thunderbird package. If anybody want, feel free wrote Thunderbird 3.1 experiences and accessibility related problems, the resulted slowest mail folder list navigation problem I wrote. If anybody want, please confirming my bugreport, now I doed this bugreport with Lucid related. The link is following: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/689193
I wrote a fix suggestion with need packaging latest awailable Thunderbird 3.0.10 package with an alternative name with compatibility purpose, if anybody want keep this latest 3.0 series version, have possibility to choose this compatibility package if absolute known the newest upstream release for example not compatible right with the distribution branch awailable Orca version. But I think packagers not choosing this fix method, because resulting more redundant work. Luke, I don't no how can possible handling in future this Mozilla products upstream version change related accessibility related bugs, because for example in future the Firefox version is perhaps upgrading with 4.0.x release, but Orca version is not rolling this change and possible some basic features will be not working right. For example when I tryed Firefox 4.x beta, when I using the backspace key, not spokened the deleted characters, this bug is reported with Orca development version but not fixed yet. Absolute sure 2.30 Orca version will be producing this issue if this upgrade will be happening, I think 2.32 Orca version too. I founded now the Thunderbird 3.0.10 release and building local my machine, but always for example we need doing local build the oldest release if happening a main upstream version upgrade and for example this change killed the Mozilla product accessibility, for example with Thunderbird? How can possible handling this accessibility related situation with an LTS release with need supporting three years? I known, more people using Mozilla products without need accessibility support and always need the security upgrades (perhaps main upstream version changing upgrades too), but now not have "safe" possibility to prewent this upgrade if anybody using Mozilla products with accessibility support. Dpkg-hold is not good, because if holded the package, not get security support for example the actual supported thunderbird package until 3.0.x version is supported. Only a known date not possible doing dpkg-hold command for example with thunderbird package, because we not known when will be happening for example the thunderbird main version upgrade with 3.0.10 to 3.1.7 release, only surprising when this main upstream upgrade is happened. :-(:-( Of course this is not your mistake, not Canonical mistake, Mozilla changed the supporting modell, but need handling this unvanted situation if possible in future to minimize this supporting model related accessibility problems.
