[Bug 682235] Re: Implement caret navigation

 

Hi. I'm a little confused. Comment #5 is a user saying why he needs a
fix. I see no indication that there actually is a fix in this bug report
or in the commit logs.

At the moment I am still fighting to get all of the build dependencies
built and installed on my system (Fedora 18/rawhide) in order to see if
there really is a fix. In the meantime, if the status change from "New"
to "Fix Released" is based purely on Comment #5, then I am afraid there
was a misunderstanding and this bug is not fixed. :(

Title:
  Implement caret navigation

Status in Gwibber:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The way users who are blind typically interact with and read displayed
  text is to move focus to the widget and then, if necessary, arrow
  around. As they move the caret, their screen reader announces the unit
  of text moved to.

  Because Gwibber uses WebKitGtk, and WebKitGtk is remarkably
  accessible, if you implement caret navigation for the displayed status
  updates, it will be trivial to add support for Gwibber in the Orca
  screen reader.

  Thanks in advance!
