Re: [orca-list] Issue with Orca and Firefox 60

[Andy Borka <sonfire11 gmail com>]

Hi,


I am using Ubuntu Mate 18.04 with Orca 3.28 and firefox 60.0. Selecting 
any text in a browser window causes Orca to go silent during the 
selection process. Pressing SHIFT+END sometimes gets Orca to say the 
selected line. However, pressing SHIFT+ARROW KEYS forces Orca to go 
silent during the selection process.


1. Go to www.google.com

2. Do a search for something "seeing eye dogs" was the search I used.

3. From the first search result, press and hold SHIFT, then press DOWN 
ARROW to select multiple lines of text.


expected result: Orca announces the selected text as it is selected.

Actual result: Orca goes silent even though text is selected.


Let me know if there is anything else you need and how to get it since I 
am fairly new to Ubuntu.
