Re: [orca-list] Orca, problem with check lists?

[Isaac Porat <isaac porat me uk>]

Hi Joanie

I am running in a boxed virtual environment so not able to get to you 
the log file quickly; if somebody can do this easily this would be 
appreciated.  Otherwise I shall find a way in a couple of days to do so.

One thing, having no sight, I am not even sure that when the spacebar is 
pressed the check box is being checked at all, in other words, it may 
not be an Orca problem at all but rather that the application does not 
respond to the spacebar key.

Thanks
Isaac
