Re: New version of Anaconda don't work with Orca screen reader on Workstation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

There is currently a rather unusual situation with the Fedora
Workstation installer, which uses a new UI based on web technologies
that is still in development. But stable versions (this means Fedora 39
and Fedora 40) are still be using the classic GTK based interface for
now.

It is possible that some of the issues you are seeing are due to the
change to the Web UI. Likely not because it would not support
accessibility features  as we use Firefox for the Web View and
PatternFly for the widgets - both should have robust accessibility
support. Rather it is more likely we configured something incorrectly
when we did the switch to the Web UI.

In any case, thanks for the heads up! We will look into this & in the
meantime I suggest using the Fedora 39 or Fedora 40 images for
installation, as those should still have the "old" GUI and therefore
working accessibility.

Best Wishes
Martin Kolman
