Public bug reported:
Ubiquity completely freezes when activating the forward button on the
partitioning step, when the GNOME accessibility framework is enabled,
and the orca screen reader is being used. This seems to occur regardless
of whether modifications to the partition scheme have been made or not.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot a copy of the beta release desktop CD.
2. Enable the GNOME accessibility framework in System -> Preferences ->
Assistive Technology Preferences. Check the box labeled "Enable accessibility
technologies." No other boxes need to be checked.
3. Close the window, and log out/in again.
4. Once logged back in, bring up a terminal, and run "sudo orca". This will ask
you a few questions. You can answer these however you like. You will then be
returned to a prompt. Run orca again with the same command. Orca will run,
printing its output to the terminal.
5. Launch the installer, and fill in options as required, making sure to select
the manually partition option. The partitioner appears, and the installer
should freeze when you activate the forward button from this step, if you
haven't made any partition changes. The installer should also freeze once any
partitioner changes have been saved.
