Re: [orca-list] Firefox caret issue

[Rob Whyte <fudge thefudge net>]

Hi Joanie,
I have updated master and for 10 minutes tried to re-produce with no
success.
It does seem that this bug I have been experiencing since January has
been fixed.
The only time that I could semi re-produce is by opening a link in a new
page, shiftenter, closing it and trying to navigate to a heading button
etc straight after closing the window.
It only happens if done so quite fast after closing the link openned in
the new window.
How ever in that case moving down a workspace and back up again makes
everything happy again so I suspect it is just a case of Orca scripts
not being loaded before I attempt the command maybe.

Thank you for fixing this.
Will make my day to day experience with Firefox so much more relaxing.

Kind regards
Rob Whyte
