Description rudolf.weeber 2008-07-09 19:00:34 UTC
Hi again,

I just tested the flat review in thunderbird's message list:

Observation:
I tabbed into the message list. When the message subject shows I
* press flat-review up on the braille display -> Nothing happens
* press down on the braille display -> Braille display is positioned on the 2nd line of the screen (i.e., one line under the menu bar.)
* Flat review then works fine

A possible explaination would be, that the flat review cursor is not "taken along" when arrowing through the message list, but remains on the top row (i.e., on the menu bar). This would explain, why nothing happens, when pressing flat-review-up the first time.

On the other hand, the pan left/right keys on the braille display work fine when arrowing through the messages.

I'm using orca and thunderbird builds of today.

Cheers, Rudolf

Turns out that flat review in Thunderbird is largely broken and IMHO needs a comprehensive analysis of the issues and a clean fix which addresses all the issues.  Therefore, I've opened bug 542833 for that and am marking this as a dup.
