Description Mike Pedersen 2007-04-09 21:30:40 UTC 
1.  go to  http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/

2.  Down arrow through the listed products 
When you do this you will hear the link for the product twice.  It should only be heard once.  
Following are some comments from Will in email
Bummer.  Yep - I hear them twice, and I'm not sure why.  Looks like 
where saying it once for a focus: event and then again for a caret moved 
event.

I just tried arrowing through the page and I'm not hearing links spoken twice.  I have the latest Firefox, latest Orca.  Are you guys still hearing the double speaking?
Comment 2 Mike Pedersen 2007-04-13 21:12:07 UTC 
I'll bet some change in FF over the last few days fixed this.  I can't reproduce it any more either.
Comment 3 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-04-13 21:20:12 UTC 
Thanks for checking!  I'm updating the summary to "pending" so that we don't forget about it, but can easily spot it as something we might be done with. <grin>  In the meantime, if you find other instances where links are being double-spoken, please add the URL as a comment here.

Mike said today that this seems to have reappeared.  Is that correct?

Yes, I just re-tested with todays build and the problem does exist.
Comment 6 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-04-21 22:52:39 UTC 
I just tried it with today's build and I still cannot reproduce it.  Mike could you please attach a full debug.out to this bug showing the problem occurring so that I can a) try to figure out what you and I are doing differently and b) try to fix it :) ?

Thanks.
Comment 7 Mike Pedersen 2007-04-30 19:17:38 UTC 
I still see this ocasionally but haven't yet found a way to reproduce it all the time.  Lets just leave it open and keep tracking it.
Comment 8 Willie Walker 2007-05-15 17:40:53 UTC 
I would actually prefer to close this bug until a reliable test case can be found.
