Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
To reproduce this bug, install and run Orca, the Gnome screen reader.
Then, run update-manager from the System/Administration menu. If there
are any packages that need updating, they will be listed in the dialog
box that appears, with a checked check-box control by each item in the
list. Use the TAB key to move to the first item in the list, while
listening to Orca's description. Orca correctly reads that the box is
checked. Then, press the space bar. The check will be cleared, but
Orca only announces that space was pressed. Try moving to the next
item, and then back to the first item. Orca will read that the box is
checked, even though it isn't.
This same bug exists in gnome-app-install. Both applications are
written in Python, and seem to share the concept of a list of checked
items, and both lists fail to work properly with Orca in the exact same
manner. Joanmarie, the lead developer of Orca, has examined carefully
the debug output from Orca when trying toggle the gnome-app-install
check boxes. The messages in that case coming from gnome-app-install do
not report that the checkbox was toggled, and even though the checkbox
has been toggled, if you move away and then back to the item, gnome-app-
install reportes in a message to Orca that the checkbox is still
checked. I believe this is also the case with update-manager. The bug
may be in the checkbox control not reporting the toggle properly.
