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

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

Hi Michael,

Does pressing tab followed by shift-tab make the cursor keys start working 
again for you?  I see the same result if I press enter as if I press 
ctrl-o--I can't cursor immediately but can if I tab around, whether I'm 
using AT-SPI1 or AT-SPI2.  I'm wondering if I'm seeing the same bug that 
you're seeing.  Either way, a debug.out might be useful.  I'm noticing 
that Orca is seeing a document:load-complete but not anything 
focus-related, and perhaps it is expecting a focus event.
