Re: [orca-list] Braille in Orca

Hi Fredrik:

It took me a while to understand just what you were doing, but I think I 
understand what's going on: you're attempting to access web content 
using the flat review keys.

Instead of using flat review, which was primarily developed as a 
fallback mechanism for accessing ill-behaved applications, I'd highly 
recommend that you navigate content using the same keyboard navigation 
techniques that sighted users use.  You can enable caret navigation in 
Firefox by pressing the F7 key.

If you've tried caret navigation and still think you'd be more efficient 
using flat review, be advised that flat review and Gecko have issues. 
Here's the related bugs:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355525
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542833

Having said that, if you have a specific web page where this is breaking 
for you, please give us the URL and the content where it seems to break. 
   We might be able to make it work, but no promises, especially when 
dealing with really quirky content.

Hope this helps!

Will
