Re: Some issue in ScitE for Linux with Orca screen reader

giginap...:
 

I tried to install ScitE for programming. The program is usable, but 


First, ensure accessibility is turned on although it should be by default. 
This is controlled by the accessibility property which is 1 to enable and 0 
to disable. Some parts of SciTE support screen reading even when 
accessibility=0.
 

when I delete a character or move cursor and find a space Orca not read it. 


So, there is some screen reading occurring but not for some actions?

If a line is:

# sudo make install

and the caret starts on the left before the '#' and I press the  right 
arrow key, I hear "space". This is Ubuntu 23.10 with "Screen Reader" on.

If I move to before the first 's' I hear "ess", then press Del, and hear 
"delete". It doesn't say "delete ess" which may be more reasonable.

Scintilla, the text editing component inside SciTE, implements the GTK 
accessibility API but that doesn't mean it directs the screen reader to say 
particular things. What it does is tell the accessibility API that it is 
dealing with text and provides ways for the accessibility tools to navigate 
and manipulate the text and discover aspects of it like colour. This code 
is in scintilla/gtk/ScintillaGTKAccessible.cxx.

It's possible solve this problem? 


It may be possible to provide more information to the accessibility APIs or 
provide it in a different way but the effects are indirect and 
unpredictable.
