Re: Orca seems to get stuck on links with Firefox 3

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Oops, it has happened to me again.:-) Had this been 20 years ago i would
have been ... upset and in a high tone said something like "why hasn't
anyone told me about this"? This is now though and i now say Wow, cool!
i have pondered over suggesting that those lines in the script that
controls caret navigation should be made into a check box in the prefs
dialog, or maybe a group of radio buttons, but this was a smarter
solution still... Hmm have to check what navigation i actually use...
And can i remove those lines from the .orca/usersettings.py that control
caret navigation?
Thanks very much for the tip, it's really appreciated.
