H. Hi. I just went through a rather rocky upgrade of my laptop from stretch to buster. I use Orca for speech. The biggest problem I have right now is that gtk2 applications no longer seem to talk. This is unfortunate because Pidgin was by far the most accessible GUI chat client. Surprisingly enough, I find that GUI chat clients work better than say finch or something that is going to produce text-mode windows. I've tested both Gimp and Pidgin as typical gtk2 applications and Orca doesn't see them as accessible at all. Is it expected that gtk2 will no longer talk, or is this a bug? If so, is it likely to be a local configuration error or something upstream. Are there details I can provide to help?
