Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This is a usability bug.

Ubuntu 7.04, Herd 1 (Feisty Fawn), Desktop CD, live session

Steps to reproduce
* Put the CD in and allow it to start.
* Choose the 'F5 Accessibilty' menu
* Select one of the options, and return to the main menu.
* Choose the 'F5 Accessibilty' menu again and you'll notice that your setting is not displayed in any way, nor can you undo a selection.

Expected Result:
The menu items should record with a star, cross or something, that they have been activated. Reselecting a selected item should unmark it - removing it from the installation configuration.

Bug #74249 prevented me from trying the accessibility bits out.

Hi. Thanks for reporting. If I understand it correctly your issues is with the very first CD boot menu (which is a gfxboot issue).

You want to mark one item as selected. I've not tried, but I'm sure pressing F5, selecting 'None' and pressing Enter will revert to the default. How would blind users know an item was marked?

* Thanks for reassigning the bug.
* I also assume that selecting 'None' deselects all options. But it's still not a very informative menu.
* There are many degrees of blindness. Someone could well have enough sight to see the first boot menu if they struggle, but still want a screen reader. Anyway, who says only blind people want a screen reader? (But yes, 100% vision people can install it later.)
