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

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

This problem has been known for several months.  It occurs in both 
Thunderbird and Firefox. I believe it was Hermann who filed a bug with 
Mozilla about this problem.

Also, pressing Alt-F6generally will get focus into the unfocused dialog box.
