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

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I'm not Michael but when I was encountering this problem, I would
press Ctrl+w to close the unreadable / focusable message and I would
then be back in the inbox list; I could navigate that every time.

I don't know if this is related or not but the folder treeview seems a
mess.  What I mean is when I initially open Thunderbird, I tab over to
my two IMAP accounts; so at that point, I have 3 collapsed nodes of
the tree table - 2 accounts and local folders.  When I press right
arrow to open any of the folders, the list does not refresh and at
this point, I cannot find a way to get it refreshed either.  Example:
if I open my first account, the second item in the tree would usually
be Inbox for that account.  In reality, that is the case but Orca
speaks the second account and says it is collapsed and when arrowing
up to the first node, it says my IMAP account name and says it is
still collapsed.  So for what ever reason, the folder tree is not
being updated in Orca but Thundrbirde processes it as normal so it is
nearly impossible to get any good use out of Thunderbird under these
conditions.
