Hi,
My Evolution mail package updated from the proposed updates. I did some
brief experimentation, and found that neither the message list, nor the
message view pane is accessible, using Orca screen reader. There seems
to be no cursor on which Orca can focus. Toggling the 'f7' key does not
change this behavior, as it used to do. If I press the 'enter' key,
anywhere in the pane, a message pane seems to be open, but, nothing is
readable, with flat review or the arrow keys.
Evolution isn't my mail reader of choice, but, I post this as a warning
to those needing accessibility, to uncheck the Evolution updates in
Update Manager, if you use this program, or, you may find yourself
unable to read your mail, contacts, and/or calendars.
Best,
Dave
