Re: [orca-list] Does the "Orca Find" really work in the latest release of Orca?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Victor:

It works, but it looks like there's contention for handling the focus. 
The problem is that Orca's "Find" dialog takes focus away from Firefox. 
 When you then do the find, focus goes back to Firefox, which looks 
like it issues a focus event.  Orca then responds to the focus event.  :-(

If you do the "find next" operation (CapsLock+]), it works because no 
intervening dialog appears.

However, I will repeat what another list member had to say - you're 
better off using the built-in functionality of applications that support 
find.  They are going to give you better performance and will be better 
integrated with the application.
