Thanks Lijuan. You indicated in the Mozilla bugzilla that you were using Orca 2.18.1. I can confirm that the problem does exist in that version of Orca; however, it seems to have gotten fixed at some point along the way. I cannot reproduce this issue in the current version of Orca (2.19.3 pre). Would you mind giving the latest Orca from svn trunk a try and see if the problem still exists for you? Thanks!
On the Mozilla bug, Tim Miao said: > I tried this with latest orca and firefox, it's fixed and not reproducible > anymore. I have transfered this information to Lijuan, she also gives > me same answer. Therefore, I'm closing this out as OBSOLETE. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME. Thanks!
