Re: [orca-list] Performance enhancements for Firefox 3

Hi Janina.

They are only in trunk but will be included in all subsequent releases,
along with fixes for problems people identify. <smile>

I could use some more explanation I'm afraid.  If you're not in a combo
box, down arrow moves you from line to line.  If you are in a combo box,
down arrow moves you to the next item in the combo box.  That's a
Firefox thang.  We will be adding commands to move to the next object
which should be useful for escaping combo boxes.  However right now, if
you are on a collapsed combo box, left and right should move you off of
it.  You can also tab away from them.

So.... What should we be doing differently?  If it's a bug, then I'll
see about getting it fixed soon. (Agency holiday shutdown means more
Orca time next week.  Woo hoo!)  If it's a user interaction change, then
I will leave that to Mike Pedersen to discuss and "spec out."

Thanks!
