[Bug 1797861] Re: Screen reader doesn't read installer's GUI during a live session installation

[Olivier Tilloy]

Confirming this bug with today's groovy (20.10) daily image
(20201013.1).

The screen reader initially works in the installer (first nine steps of
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1309/info), but then when
launching the installer again in the live session, orca doesn't read
anything in the installer. Orca hasn't crashed, it's running and able to
read the content of other applications.
