Bug Description
[Test Case]
1. In the g-c-c, go to Accessibility and enable the orca screen reader
2. Restart compiz or logout/login.
3. Press alt+f1 to enter keynav in the Launcher
4. Move around the Launcher
-> Orca should read the Launcher elements and their quick-list menu items
[Regression Potential]
No obvious regression potential.
Original description:
the launcher is now silent to orca, including the quicklists in the 12.04 beta

this is running a fully updated 12.04 with the unity team ppa
when did it last worked for you? Alan can you please specify that ?
it is broken in unity3d, but works in unity2d. It was working in 3d earlier in the year, not sure exactly when. I believe they have given up on accessibility for unity 3d now and are launching the 2d session by default for screen reader users.
I can confirm and (maybe) I know how we can fix with the next SRU. But I need to talk with Alan on IRC.

Hello Alan, or anyone else affected,
Accepted unity into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https:/
Could you test the candidate update, it will not be deployed as a stable update until the fixes are confirmed to work and that's one of the bugs that's remaining as verification-needed
removed: verification-needed
