Re: [orca-list] Firefox text fields

It might be related to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619002

It is committed in Firefox 7, it changed some events for text changes with new ATK library.
I'm not sure if Orca recognize the new events.

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 in VirtualBox to have a try.
