Re: [orca-list] intermittent orca key problems

["Robert D. Crawford" <robdcraw gmail com>]

Have I broken some sort of list etiquette or has no one seen the two
problems I have mentioned?  The first one, speaking "ghost" items under
the mouse is here:

and the firefox shortcuts key problem is here:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2010-November/msg00004.html

The problem with the ghost objects I can live with.  I just don't use
that feature in orca.  The lack of keyboard shortcuts in firefox is a
real problem, though.  I can't speak the rest of the document and I
can't open the preferences dialog.  If I hit insert+space it scrolls the
document.

Has anyone had any of these problems or am I the only one?  I'm not
trying to be snitty here, I've been using free software for many years
now and always do my best to be humble, understanding and respectful of
other's time.  I have just never seen the time where I was the only one
who had seen a particular problem.

Thanks for any assistance that can be offered.

Respectfully,
rdc
