There's no Trac ticket. However, I can tell you that old virtual buffers will never display in braille. It just isn't worth the work to get this happening, since the old virtual buffers will eventually be removed in favour of new ones. 


On the
desktop, on the other hand, it lines up on the right side, and causes me
to have to read backwards sometimes before I can find the beginning of
the desktop item I've selected
This is because the desktop item isn't long enough to stretch back to the left hand side of the display, whereas the message in the message list is. If we always justified the focus to the left of the display, you would never see focus context. For example, instead of seeing dialog text when you enter a message dialog, you would just see "Yes btn" hard up against the left side of the display, which tells you nothing about where you are. 


We'll also need to come up with
shortcuts for saying list item button etc but I believe there's a track
ticket on that also.
Button already has a shortcut. The rest need to be added. There's no ticket for this. 


I'd like to have that configurable, actually it
would probably have to, for the benefit of other languages.
For now, this isn't configurable. However, the shortcuts are localised, so translators can choose one which is appropriate for their language.

Ok, these huge emails covering a plethora of different ideas are really hard to handle. Can you please file tickets for the issues you think are bugs? :)
