It is a known issue which, for me, is fixed by the patch attached to
this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534022

That patch/bug has "[testing required]" on it as an indication that ...
well... testing is required <smile>.  Until it has been tested and the
functionality confirmed as both desirable and working, it won't get
checked into trunk.

For anyone who likes life on the bleeding edge, towards the top of the
Orca wiki How Can I Help? page (http://live.gnome.org/Orca/HowCanIHelp)
there is a link for all of the Orca bugs with "[testing required]" in
them.  Because that link is really just a bugzilla search, you can even
generate an RSS feed based on that query so that you'll be updated when
there are new patches that need testing.

Hope this helps!  Take care.
