Hello, I'm trying to learn a bit about GTK/GNOME accessibility development. Recently I began dipping my toes into amateur radio, and while the Chirp radio programming software is highly accessible, there are some rough edges. The biggest of these is that programatically-created radio settings scr

Posted this to the Orca list, but this list is probably a better fit. Seems like the Settings app experienced some severe regressions under 3.26. Is this a known issue? In particular, if I access my Sharing settings, I'm unable to tab to any of the sharing buttons. I can't, for instance, enable t
