Re: [orca-list] just discovered that first character is not spoken when typing in a spreadsheet cell

Hi Krishnakant.

This sounds like structural navigation is kicking in when it should not
be, which is extremely odd since it is off by default in OpenOffice. And
I thought I had added a check to prevent it from kicking in when in Calc
regardless.

Please file a bug against Orca. Thanks!
