Re: [orca-list] Table headers and coordinates in braille

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Mario:

I don't know of any systems currently shipping GNOME 2.22.x (and Orca 
2.22.x as a result) that do not ship BrlTTY 3.8 or better.  So, I think 
I'm very close to celebrating the removal of that unfortunate nastiness.
