Re: [orca-list] firefox and gmail issues

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Hi there,
I for one do *not* want to have the links, form items etc on separate
rows, so if you plan to have it put into Orca, please, please, please,
please, please, oh please make it optional so that those who want to
have the pages look as they really do can have it that way. Why? you ask:
Well it's time consuming to have everything split into rows and so
forth. If i want to hear links and so on one by one i tab between them
or use the therefore designed hot keys if they're still around, and if i
want to just quickly skim a page i can easily jump over links that are
in one row.
Secondly, if ever i take up my old hobby of making web pages again, i
want to see it not in a forgiving screen reader friendly version, but
the way it looks so that i possibly can redo mistakes and so on.
That's all i'm going to say in this matter.
