For context, there are two very different things:
- the tails-installer package, which was useful to create a Tails
system; this became obsolete with the Tails 3.12 release, which comes
under both an ISO form (as before) and an USB image that can be used
directly. More details on: https://tails.boum.org/news/version_3.12/
- the persistence-setup component of the Tails system, which makes it
possible to enable a persistent partition.

I think what Cory is referring to is the latter, for which some tickets
exist already; you can check the tickets linked from the generic Tails
vs. accessibility ticket:
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/14522

If you're encountering issues that aren't documented in our tracker yet,
feel free to open a new ticket with the details:
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/projects/tails

I'm putting the tails-dev mailing list in copy so that I'm not the only
one getting answers if there are any issues regarding filing a new
ticket (please use reply-all).

My issue here is that I am running Tails and am trying to create a persistent storage volume with the included tool, but none of the controls appear to read. And in order to make changes to my .profile settings stick permanently I need persistent storage. So, it’s kind of a chicken and egg situation. Have you dealt with Tails before? If so, is this in fact a QT based app? I did check, and qt-at-spi does seem to be installed by default, but there are just certain apps where Orca isn’t reading. Maybe it’s easy to blame it on QT, but I actually am not exactly sure what the problem is. Any thoughts?
