Description jose vilmar estacio de souza

When installing a software orca does not announce the status of the checkbox used to select/deselect the software.
To reproduce try the following:

1. launch eclipse.
2. press alt+h and choose install software.
3. choose a site.
4. press tab until you  find the list of available softwares.

There is a checkbox for each software but orca does not read its status
automaticaly, even if I press space to select / deselect.
I can read the status using flat review mode.

Jose, how do you get Orca to go into flat review mode? Thanks!

Using the laptop layout you can press CapsLock+i to read the entire line.
I don't know the equivalent combination in the desktop layout but it can be found in the key binds page  of orca preferences.

I can reproduce this bug on GTK3. The checkbox status is not read, though the selection status of the table item is.
