Bug ID: 495096
Summary: Plasma Shell isn't read by the screen reader when it
is activated
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.2.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
URL: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/Fedora-KD
E-Live/41/1.2/images/Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-41-1.2.iso
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ngomp...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When I activate the screen reader with Meta+Alt+S, Orca starts up but does not
read the shell itself (e.g. it doesn't tell me about the application launcher
when pressing Meta+Alt+P or pressing meta to make the launcher show up).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download the Fedora 41 KDE RC ISO
2. Boot it
3. Activate screen reader with Meta+Alt+S
OBSERVED RESULT
After "Screen reader on" is said, nothing is read.
EXPECTED RESULT
After "Screen reader on" is said, Plasma Welcome should be read to you saying
"Welcome to Fedora" and some such. Navigating the shell via key combinations
should also trigger it to read the shell to you.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 41 (KDE Plasma)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is being considered a blocker bug downstream in Fedora.
