Dear Maintainer,

I forward here the upstream bug:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/issues/88

My question is: could we insert the patch in Debian? The problem is now
a recent update have been done, the problem is back and makes hard using
the graphical terminal under MATE.

Best regards

Dear Maintainer,

The upstream maintainers will likely not apply the patch for bad reasons
and beause they dont care with accessibility. Could Debian do it,
to ensure the MATE terminal app to be accessible (it is the default when
installing accessibility), and to value the Debian accessibility work
in general? If we accept to do what upstream refuses, it would be the mark
of our involvement in accessibility in this distro. The patch is already
done. At least, I would like to have it in experimental or sid to test
if users complain of side-effects.

Thanks

Regards

Très bonne idée et initiative! Bravo et merci!

Shérab.

Dear Maintainer,

For some reason, the bug which existed in the terminal (gnome or mate) seems
to be fixed, as the braille display is now relevant. So at the moment, the bug
is fixed.

Jean-philippe, Samuel, possible backporting for bookworm-backports (or
the proper stable branch if an user not using stable-backports
repository) the 2023. october 23 added patch with Samuel doed?
Few hungarian users tested the latest Trixie branch available patched
libvte2 package version in bookworm, braille-display navigation is works
perfect the patched version. :-):-)
If this is possible (and does not violate the package maintenance policy
of the official Debian stable branch), please make this patch available
for either the stable-updates or the stable-backports branch, because
the accessibility of the graphical Terminal is greatly improved by the
patch. For visually impaired users, apart from the console (if they use
e.g. Speakup and Espeakup, or Fenrir or Speechd-up screen reader on the
console), libvte2-based terminals are the only option to use the command
line in the graphical session for barrier-free use for inputting
commands (gnome-terminal, mate-terminal, xfce4-terminal, etc.).
I apologize if I may have written some expressions incorrectly, I am not
a Debian package maintainer or a Debian developer, unfortunately I do
not have the right rights to upload the backported package, otherwise I
would be happy to do this task.

Best regards:

Attila Hammer
