Hi,

From what I could understand, it is unlikely this will be fixed before
Buster release. So how should we proceed about his bug?
Even if a backport can possibly be provided later, would it be possible
to just document the keystrokes "workaround" mentioned by Jeremy Bicha
in the package shipped with Buster?
It might be a big difference for users in need of this accessibility
feature.
Although I rather have the bug fixed (who doesn't) I think documenting
Wiki? I'll make sure the release notes have something.
I propose the attached text for the release-notes. Are the instructions
correctly copied (I don't use GNOME)?

The release-notes just use "generic you" rather than "one", which
avoids the problem that different branches of English use "one"
differently - in US English "one uses one's tab key" sounds impossibly
formal and usually becomes "one uses his or her tab key", but in my
own dialect it has to be the former and the latter is ungrammatical.

I was also going to say "nobody hyphenates workaround", but it turns
