Re: [orca-list] orca and gnome pannels in arch linux

["Michael Whapples" <mwhapples aim com>]

Yes you're right about me getting stuck in the top panel, all I found to 
solve it was randomly click the mouse on the screen to take focus out of 
there (you have a good chance of getting somewhere outside the panel first 
go due to the percentage of the screen the panel occupies). As I had it 
happen, I assume I can repeat it, so may be I can try and look into it (it 
may be a few days before I really get a good chance to look at it).
