Re: Orca rolenames too long for braille?

Hey Rich:

The lack of symmetry in the API is definitely an annoyance.  I
created/fixed a bug for this: 

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337704

The overall impact is that end users should see no difference, but
script writers will.  Luckily, the impact was isolated to just the
Evolution and StarOffice scripts.

Thanks!

Will
