Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird daily and Orca master

Hi,
I do not notice it in daily but that bug only catches me out from time
to time as my unified Inbox is not as large as some peoles.

When Orca is stuck in the HTML read mode Shift Tabbing into the Subject
field and back to the Email body is probably the best way to try and
regain the edittable focus.

I think the misleeding list results are a show stopper for Thunderbird.
I have replied a couple of times to an email which actually went to the
wrong person.
This can be bad if replying to a work email being sent to an entire
workplace or in one persons case a very personal email being sent to a
Church group.
Not everyone in their work flow will check the recipiant before sending.

As for the laptop query, that sounds reasonable to me, my advice would
be to buy one with a aolid state drive, otherwise any performance gains
through more expensive CPU models are not worth it.

Thanks
Rob

Hey Rob,
Is the message list item fixed or notably improved using t-bird daily builds?
I have had thunderbird get stuck in what I think you are calling html mode when replying occasionally in 
Vinux with default orca and t-bird 24. I do not remember if I ever had this when using thunderbird 17 
builds. 
I can't type many letters obviously when this happens as they want to send me to headings, buttons, and 
such. 
SIs this a known issue that effects everyone from time to time? The only close to sure cure I've found is 
restarting t-bird. Saving the reply and reopening from drafts has worked a few times, but is not reliable, 
and if I remember correctly has not worked  at all the last several times I've tried it. 
I'll perhaps try some newer t-bird builds in arch when ever I put that disk back in. 
Damn, hate the shipping hassles here in Mexico, just found 2 or 3 used thinkpads with i5 CPus and most if 
not all of my secondary requirements refurbished for a price I'd find a way to pay, but can't be shipped 
here, and price becomes unatractive when adding the better part of $100 for shipping. Going to look again 
for shipping alternatives. 
You look around at prices much more than I ever have, so does $230-260 for t400 and t410 series thinkpads 
with i5s sound good to you? Maybe this is quite typical of the current market, but I've not checked at all 
recently. There's also an xseries model for $230US, but I think it's core2 duo. 
Regards,

Hi Joanie,
These are my steps, using the Applications key right click on an email.
Once the email starts speaking push Control to halt speech.
Push 'H', I hear the font spoken in a combo box, push 'i' to complete
the word Hi and I hear 'wrap around no list items' or something similar.
I just updated and will look for any other behaviour that has improved.
In Thunderbird do you Compose in HTML?
It must be quite tricky in the body of an email for Orca to know when
the user wants the field to be edittable and when they want HTML navigation.

Thanks
Rob

Hey Rob.

I was not able to reproduce the problem you describe. But in trying, I
found a couple of different issues which I fixed in master. I won't
commit the changes to the 3.12 branch until those changes have been
properly tested. So.... If you could test to see if I lucked out and
also fixed your issue in the process that, would be great. <smiles> And
if you notice a regression resulting from that change, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,
I experience a problem in Thunderbird with Orca html mode.
When i from the Inbox push Control R to reply, wait for the box to pop
up with the focus in the place to type my reply.
Orca does not always realise I can type, instead pushing h then i for hi
offers me navigational keys looking for HTML elements.
This is quite annoying, the second or third time I am able to arrow
around and then Orca wakes up.
How can this be addressed to fix.

Thanks
Rob
