If it works with AT-SPI, but not AT-SPI2, is this an Orca bug?

That's an interesting question, my guess would be it will end up not being one, but I'm not sure whose bug it is yet.

I think that even with at-spi1, flat review didn't always work.
Would it be possible to make a key combination that somehow clicks the object where my cursor is at the moment?

So a couple of things:

1. I just tried Orca from master with AT-SPI2 from master and Firefox 8.0 in an Fedora 16 box and was able to successfully flat review the content of the Orca wiki. As a result, I definitely need more information in order to fix this bug.

2. As was pointed out, there are existing Gecko bugs that sometimes prevent us from seeing content correctly via flat review.

Leaving status as NEEDINFO.

From Mike Gorse (AT-SPI2 maintainer) on the orca-list:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's something going wrong with AT-SPI caching children. Either Mozilla 
is sometimes not sending children-changed events when objects are added or 
removed, or libatspi isn't properly updating its cache. I can't say which 
for sure--I haven't taken the time to track it down.

This patch to Orca should help in the meantime:

Thanks Mike!

I've committed your work around. I'm going to close this bug as FIXED.
