Re: [orca-list] mouse over not working

[lsmithso hare demon co uk]

My use of Ubuntu 11.10 predates my use of Orca, and I'd rather not
upgrade unless I really really have to.

Unity 3d was confusing either me or the desktop, and fancy graphical
effects are utterly wasted on me.

Tool tips on or off, makes no difference.

I appreciate that newer versions of gnome/orca may be better than old
ones, but did mouse over ever work on this ancient combination of 12
month old software?
