["Stephen M. Webb" <stephen.webb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

** Description changed:

- using orca and navigating around the dash with the keyboard I hear the
- names of videos, shopping results, files and folders, application
- suggestions from the software centre, but not the very most important
- thing in the dash - applications installed that I might want to run.
+ [Impact]
+ Screen reader support for dynamic content in the Dash is enabled.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ (1) Enable Screen Reader (System Settings > Universal Access > Screen Reader)
+ (2) Press Super + A to bring up the Applications lens of the Dash
+ (3) Navigate displayed content
+ (4) Choose an application for preview
+ (5) Press Esc until the Dash is closed, repeat steps 2 to 4
+ 
+ You should hear the application description and preview description.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Some new code deals with processing pointers:  the usual problem
+ potential of dealing with pointers in C code applies.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ This patch for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid
+ Vervet" dev release where it has been in public use for some time
+ without apparent regression.
