Re: [orca-list] Orca looses focus

Hi
Not sure if it has a bug report, but it's been discussed here before.  
A current workaround is to switch orca's table row speech from row to  
cell (toggle it with f11 or set it in speech preferences). For  
whatever reason this stops the issue, although you only get the  
current cell read when you arrow. This seems to effect all tables in  
GNOME 2.25 or at least Ubuntu's version of it, and seems related to  
scrolling. It seems when the table begins to scroll, Orca loses its  
place or at least stops reading the entire row properly.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
