In this release, two critical bugs have been resolved.

  • http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562408.  Java Applications exit when ORCA is started. In fact, this is a bug of Java team. When LANG is not 'C', any Java application will exit if it received the signal 13 (SIGPIPE). Before Java team could fix this issue ( http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=6790834), I provided a patch so that Java A11Y could work on Solaris and other distros earlier.
  • Another bug is that any Java application which enables GTK look & fell will hang the keyboard if a11y is enabled. A JNI library is added to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext which sets an environment variable NO_AT_BRIDGE, as a result, atk-bridge will not load itself if it finds the variable is set.
