RHBA-2008:0469 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
at-spi bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated at-spi packages that fix a bug are now available.
Description
at-spi exposes the internals of GTK-based applications to external
automation tools. This allows assistive technologies (such as screen
readers, magnifiers, and scripting interfaces) to query and interact with
the GUI-based controls of such applications.
When VNC Viewer was used to display a hypervisor's guest's console, VNC
Viewer did not handle AT-SPI events correctly. For example, when the
Dogtail Python modules were used, a "pressKey(':')" statement returned a
";" character, instead of a ":" character. In these updated packages,
AT-SPI events are handled correctly, which resolves this issue.
Users of at-spi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
