Re: [orca-list] orca going dead in hardy

[Jeffrey Shockley <jawswizard ec rr com>]

Hi,
Agree with you, cody. It's strange. Orca didn't do this until Ubuntu 
8.04, and it even did that in the betas of 8.04. I didn't say anything 
because I thought it would have been fixed by the final release.
Thanks,
Jeffrey
