[orca-list] Possible bug with orca and thunderbird 3.0b1

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I have noticed that since I have updated to thunderbird 3.0b1 from 
thunderbird 3.0a3 orca doesn't seem to speak dialogs as they appear. Let 
me explain with an example. When I am writing a message and then press 
control+enter to send thunderbird comes up with a confirmation dialog 
asking whether I want to send the message. When using thunderbird 3.0a3 
orca would speak the dialog when it appears (like it does for any other 
windo which appears). When using thunderbird 3.0b1 orca says nothing 
automatically, although I am quite sure that the dialog has appeared as 
I have pressed space (as send is the default button to get focus in the 
dialog) and yes the message does get sent. I believe the same behaviour 
is happening for other dialogs such as preferences.

I am using orca from SVN trunk. When I originally updated thunderbird I 
was using a slightly outdated one (orca -v said orca 2.25.4pre) but 
thinking that may be a later version of orca may have attended to this 
problem I updated to the latest trunk last night, but the problem still 
exists.

Is this problem known? Do others observe this as well?
