Re: [orca-list] Possible bug with orca and thunderbird 3.0b1

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

Hi,

I don't remember which version these problems began with, but they were 
definitely development versions. For instance, I am currently using 
Thunderbird 3.0b2pre.

When you press Alt-F6, does that make the dialog box readable? Can you 
navigate it with speech/Braille? That would provide a useful clue for 
debugging... i.e., what happens when Alt-F6 is pressed that doesn't happen 
when the dialog is created. Just a suggestion.
