Re: [orca-list] What did you do to Thunderbird?

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi, Rich,

Thanks for checking in the alias.  Things are working much better 
again.  Autocompletion is now functioning correctly, the second line of 
messages is no longer repeated, and focus is not starting out at the 
bottom of the message in the message view (I believe it was a side 
effect of automatically read messages on load being enabled but not 
functioning correctly). I am still getting occasional repetitions of 
words, but this problem is greatly reduced.  If it persists for a few 
days, I'll file a bug against Orca and provide you with a debug.out.

Thanks again,

dave
