Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-07-26 23:37:44 UTC 
When composing a message in Thunderbird and reviewing it with Orca, caret-moved events are issued by the document frame, but the document frame in a plain text message lacks children.  We need to check event.source.childCount before looking at the role of the first child.  Patch to follow.

Mike please test.  Thanks!

Given that this is a simple check to be sure we have children before looking at them, I've gone ahead and committed this.  Without it, the once-again-accessible Thunderbird doesn't work so well.

I composed a couple messages in thunderbird this morning and was able to read my text so I think this one is OK.

Thanks.  Closing as FIXED.
