Re: [orca-list] Firefox caret gets caught on links?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
Yes I see it on some websites. The following link (sorry for it being a 
shop) 
http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Networking/cat/Wireless-Networking/subcat/Routers---ADSL 
seems to d it reliably.

Do others see it on that page? Is it possible from that to find a 
minimal example which causes this bug?
