Subject: Re: orca on debian stretch testing
Hi, I just installed Debian testing using the net installation iso for the
week of November 28th, 2016 and the only major issues I found is that if
you press a key espeakup lags around a little behind of when you press the
key. Orca came up talking as I just chose the defaults during the
installation. I used the image that included the non-free firmware as
both my network cards require firmware. What installation image did you
use to install with? Nick Gawronski

In addition to the problem I have with panels accessibility, the orca on
stretch testing only responds to the keyboard shortcuts to turn it on and
to turn it off. Flat review and all other orca keystrokes do not work.
This second problem could be contributing to the first problem since
without those keystrokes available to do things with orca even if orca
could read panels with some different settings used there's no way to get
to them on this machine. This relegates debian to the same status as
windows here; if I can't install it and fix it myself without sighted
assistance it won't be on my equipment.
