Re: [orca-list] [applies to others]Re: Arch users good news, found the cause of getting stuck in top panel issue

Hi,

If you do get stuck in the top panel, I've always found that you can 
escape using a mouse click somewhere else in the window. I always use 
the physical mouse or touch pad, so I haven't tested the work around 
with the flat review mouse click.
