Re: [orca-list] Problem with webkit and eclipse.org

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
Just tried it, doesn't seem to behave differently. However I have 
noticed some other stuff relating to this.

Certain specific links actually do seem to read OK, eg. the "My 
foundation" link. However this link text is not Brailled. One difference 
in the Brailling is that the underline normally goes for two cells but 
when the text is spoken it is only one. This implies orca is seeing 
something different.

Further down there are some links like "Contribute" and "Report a bug". 
If cursoring down these are spoken (cannot quite remember about Braille, 
think not, I think Braille read listitem). Should I tab through these 
elements then Braille is fine but speech does not speak the text.

Also thanks for the info on SRW, may take a look.
