Tested this on Arch Linux, with plasma 5.27-6 and the last commit of Orca's
master branch.
When pressing alt+tab to switch around windows, Orca does not announce window
names in Plasma's wayland session. This bug does not accour on the X11 session
so a lot of users work around the bug by using said session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in to the Wayland session.
2. Turn on the screen reader and open some random applications.
3. navigate around the applications with alt+tab.
OBSERVED RESULT
Orca does not announce any window name/title when pressing alt+tab to navigate
through them.
EXPECTED RESULT
The screenreader should speak window title/names.
