Can you reproduce this with a recent nightly build of feature/jessie? It might be that the port to GTK3 has fixed it.

It is fixed in Tails/Jessie. tails-i386-feature_jessie-1.5-20150718T0408Z-345c673.iso

Thanks for the update (I love good news)!

I doubt anyone will fix the Qt codebase on Wheezy, so please:

  1. document this problem on the known issues page; and then:
  2. mark this ticket as resolved with the Tails_2.0 milestone.

Actually we had Bug #7504 already (found by looking at tickets in the Accessibility category), so:

> # document this problem on the known issues page; and then:

That’s still a good idea.

> # mark this ticket as resolved with the Tails_2.0 milestone.

That’s not needed, since Bug #7504 has this information => repurposing this ticket for the known issues thing.

Thanks for working on this. I have a few comments though:

  • Did you consider referencing this as a <div id="bug"> section in /doc/first_steps/installation instead?
  • We spell Tails Installer.
  • What about documenting that this will be fixed by Tails Jessie (due in the first quarter of 2016)?

Yes, good point. Actually I can also add it to

The phrasing has been adjusted, what do you think about adding it to the bug tag in https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/accessibility/

Definitely. Then maybe we can do that only.

I moved the orca warning to acccesibility.

There, I took out the Tor Browser warning, as it looks fixed already in Bug #9261.

The Unsafe Browser looks like it will be fixed for 2.0 too, see Bug #7502

Please review

I think that you found the right place to document this. Keeping this to the minimum!

But I see no reference to 2.0 or Tails Jessie fixing the Unsafe Browser in Bug #7502. Where did you see that?

Furthermore, the indication of a future version number might not be very useful unless we give an indication on when this might happen. Also, I’m not 100% sure whether Tails Jessie will be called 2.0. I would be in favor of that but I don’t see this acted neither on Redmine (where it still means something different), neither on the calendar. So I’m not sure here, but I wonder whether we could remove that and be done with it.

#19 Updated by sajolida 2015-08-10 09:43:29

Sorry, I was mistaken about the 2.0 interpretation. Tails Jessie will be 2.0 according to our new version numbering scheme. That’s decided already.

I tested the Unsafe browser and was working on Tails/Jessie. It seems I forgot to report that, my bad.

So, what do you think then? Shall we leave the information about Tails/Jessie, or change it for ‘the first quarter of 2016’, or just don’t commit to any date?

> I tested the Unsafe browser and was working on Tails/Jessie. It seems I forgot to report that, my bad.

Both Bug #7504 and Bug #9739 are about Tails Installer, not about the Unsafe Browser, so:

  • it seems to me that this ticket has all the info we need to document the limitation it’s about; if you want to extend its scope to the Unsafe Browser, then please adjust the ticket description accordingly;
  • please report anything related to Unsafe Browser accessibility on Bug #7502 :)

> So, what do you think then? Shall we leave the information about Tails/Jessie, or change it for ‘the first quarter of 2016’, or just don’t commit to any date?

“first quarter of 2016” sounds good!

What you are saying in Bug #9739#note-20 seems to contradict what you are saying in Bug #7502#note-13. I’ll stick with Unsafe Browser being unread by Orca. Correct me if I misunderstood. I also added I2P Browser which is also chrooted. I didn’t check this myself but I don’t see why it would work better than the Unsafe Browser.

So I removed the commitment on dates as that would make the whole thing more complicated than useful and we’ve already spent too much time on this issue to my taste.

Please review my commits c2b20bf..d0d5c4e and if you’re fine with them I’ll merge them.
