Re: [orca-list] Text attributes

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Jann:

We've not really done a lot of work with Java application support yet --
there are still some fundamental issues we're resolving with that before
completely jumping into scripting for Swing.  As such, your mileage will 
vary with Java apps.

It should work with gedit, though.  Can you try updating to a newer 
version of Orca?  It would be ideal if you could work with the latest 
stuff if possible.
