In issue #253, Orca's failure to present cell ancestor information
when tabbing among interactive descendants of a cell was reported
as a bug. The fix for that bug was included in the stable (42.2)
release. Multiple users have subsequently reported that this "fix"
introduced unexpected/unwanted chattiness and requested that the
presentation be configurable.
In order to accomplish configurability without introducing new
settings (and strings, and UI), this presentation now respects the
table-related options found on Orca's app-specific preferences for
web browsers. Those options had been intended just for structural
navigation within tables, but seem to be applicable here. Because
they are enabled by default, users who find the ancestor information
too chatty will need to opt out by disabling that presentation.
It is my hope that this solution meets everyone's needs. Feedback
on the Orca mailing list and/or in gitlab is encouraged. If need be,
a new stable release reverting the fix entirely will be done.
