Greetings!
I've noticed the following problems especially since Sunday. I'm using
Fedora 17, Orca 3.4.2, and Firefox 16.0.1. (I believe Firefox was
updated last Thursday.)
First, when I've used Firefox's find command to locate something, then
hit escape to read from there, I've ended up somewhere else on the Web
page, usually near the top. One place where it happened intermittently is
<radio.macinmind.com>
I follow the "recent and upcoming" link, do a find on the day whose
shows I want, hit escape after finding it, and find myself at the
beginning of the page. The same thing happened when I tried to read an
article by Jeff Jacoby on
<www.jewishworldreview.com>
I followed the link at his name, then the on under "Archives" dated
october 15, did a find on a part of the article's title, hit escape,
arrowed down once or twice, then ended up somewhere else on the page.
I apparently don't need to use the find command to have the problem. On
<www.factcheck.org>
I started the article, also dated October 15, on the esbestos case that
Massachusetts senate candidate Elizabeth Warren was involved in. I was
reading with little problem until I came to the end of a quote about How
her rival, Scott Brown, "ought to be ashamed of himself" or something
(for his alleged falsehoods about her involvement in the case). At that
point, Orca said "text" and then took me to the top of the page. I then
used the Firefox find command to get back to where I'd been, and once
again got kicked to the top.
Has anybody else had a problem like this? Any suggestions for solving
it will be great, maybe reducing the number of times I must jump back on
our Windows box to read some of this stuff. :-) Thanks!
