Re: "[window title] inaccessible": where does it come from, and what does it mean?

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

That's logic in Orca. The Marco "support" in Orca is simply mapping
things over from the old GNOME 2.x days with Metacity. And there is a
sad hack or three in Orca due to issues in Metacity. Therefore, if you
could file a bug against Orca and attach a full debug.out, I'll look
into it. Thanks!
