Re: [orca-list] Orca not accessing the message content area in thunderbird after viewing one message

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
On trying some more I find if I cursor left and right speech tells me 
what I am cursoring over and pressing the key to read all will speak the 
message content. Also flat review will see the message content, but 
obviously only can see what is visible.

However, up and down cursor does not read the content or move the 
cursor. Also Braille does not show the message content, even when using 
read all. Braille sometimes just shows a blank line, but most of the 
time the window title bar.

Does any of this help track down the bug?
