Grant, nothing gets read in any internal browser. Do we have to turn on accessibility for browsers somehow? This problem seems to be disappeared with eclipse Build id 20120216-1857 running under ubuntu 12.04 This problem is partially back in eclipse Build id: 20120614-1722. Now, when I press the F2 key, the documentation is shown in the screen but I can not navigate in the documentation using the arrows. This bug no longer exists and can be closed. |
When editing a java class, you can place the cursor on the name of a class and access its documentation by pressing the F2 key. using orca I can not read the documentation shown in the screen. To reproduce try the following: 1. With orca active launch eclipse and choose a workspace. 2. Create a class with the following content: public class Test { public void t() { System.out.println("this is a test"); } } 3. Place the cursor on the word System and press F2. Documentation of the System class is shown on the screen but orca can not read it. Just the word window is spoken by orca. Moving the cursor also has no effect.
