Re: [orca-list] Orca and Firefox - problems

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi:

This sounds like Orca's structural navigation code is kicking in when it 
shouldn't be.  Try pressing Orca+z (Insert+z in desktop mode, 
Caps_Lock+z in laptop mode) to toggle the use of the structural 
navigation keys and see if the problem goes away.

In addition, we've done a lot of work with Orca since 2.24.1.  We'll be 
making a 2.24.4 release "very soon" that should be compatible with GNOME 
2.24.x systems.  I hope to have it out by next week.
