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

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

Hi Michael,

What hotkey are you pressing to open a message?

I've installed 3.3a3, and I'm seeing what seems like a bug where, if I 
press ctrl-o to open a message, Orca doesn't read anything if I try to 
cursor around.  If I press tab and shift+tab, I am then able to use the 
cursor keys to read the message.  This happens with both AT-SPI 1 and 
AT-SPI 2 and seems unrelated to whether or not another message was opened 
previously, so it doesn't sound like the same bug that you are reporting. 
Also, it doesn't happen for me with 3.1.8, although there is a delay of 
several seconds when I press ctrl+w with AT-SPI2 (but not with AT-SPI 1).

Thanks,
-Mike
