Re: [orca-list] 2 Orca issues

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I also get this being placed back at the top of a page when going back. 
I am using orca 2.27.5 package from debian experimental repository. The 
rest of my system is GRML (using debian unstable for debian packages, 
such as gnome).

As I remember this issue has been present on my system for sometime 
(certainly back in the 2.26 versions of orca).

I think it is for all pages. Here is an example where I do get it (just 
tried it) and I don't think it is to do with the page doing unusual 
things with focus. Go to the orca wiki http://live.gnome.org/Orca and 
select the accessible applications link. Now read some of the page and 
then press alt+left cursor to go back. I find I get placed at the top of 
the page.

Would a debug log file be useful?
