You are correct. I didn't have to change cursors to view it with braille.
Hence my comment. <smile>

You can not fully access it with PC cursor, but you can always use JAWS
cursor, that reads all the information.

The about box, Speech has issues but braille works fine. It's about time
braille did something better than speech. <grin>
I'll keep digging further.

Best,

Hi,
Are you sure you can read all the text boxes I said I'm not able to read and

navigate? It's a strange thing.. If it is the case, it can depend on the 
graphics card or something like this, but the fact is that I'm able to 
navigate on some text boxes and not on others. Are you able to navigate on 
help -> about eclipse text box, that presents eclipse version, etc?

Best regards,
Sérgio Neves

Hi all,

I am running eclipse 3.5, or maybe 3.6, I don't recall for sure, and of
course I just closed it.
But, I do not see a problem here. I can read the read-only boxes,
description, just fine. I can use the cursor keys to navigate the etc.
I am running jaws 11, Eclipse and the latest Java.

J. R.

Hi,
This bug affects eclipse 3.5 or higher.
Maybe you have to learn more about development to understand bugs, but you
can read all the bug posts and comments without a password; you cannot only
modify bug posts and make comments.
If you have eclipse 3.5 and you try what I've written in the bug text,
you'll see that readonly text boxes I describe are not readable. It's a bug
that have to be corrected in order for this parts of eclipse to be usable by

us.
The more experience you gain, the more expertise you'll have to detect bugs
in eclipse and post them to be corrected by eclipse developers.

Best regards,
Sérgio Neves

I am new in eclipse. I went to the link, but I need a password. How do you
get that? Also, could you please explain what is happening? What version are

you running?

Hi,
I've posted an eclipse bug related to inaccessibility of readonly text
boxes, but it seems its fix is hard or something like this, because there is
no apparent progress.
If you can vote for this bug or even if you have expertise to comment, the
community thanks. The link is
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=293263

Best regards,
Sérgio Neves
