[orca-list] Flat review in Firefox (was Re: Punctuation Levels)

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

There are a number of things that may be causing flat review to not work 
well in firefox.  Some of these are due to a bug in Firefox:

Bug 384101 – text.getTextAtOffset broken for TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_START
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384101

There's also some known bugs we've either fixed recently or are at least 
tracking:

Bug 512847 – Flat review is quite broken in OpenOffice and Firefox
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512847

Bug 495303 – Character flat review not working correctly with generated 
texts in XUL

Some of these are very dependent upon the content you're looking at. 
So, if you have a specific URL where you can demonstrate the problem, 
please let us know.  It can help us determine if it is known bug or a 
new bug.

Thanks!

Will
