I've not looked into it yet, but I suspect you're correct about it being
an instance of the new stuff not working quite right. In particular,
there's probably some proper ARIA being done by Google which Orca is not
properly handling. If that is indeed the case I'll try to fix this ASAP.
Maybe even today.

Thank you for saying so. Once I finally finish the sad-hack detanglement
and removal, I'll give more dedicated attention to Orca's Gecko web app
support -- and also implement caret navigation support in Epiphany so
that Orca users will have a proper choice in which the user experience
is (expected to be) the same. In the meantime, I am quite pleased to
know what is currently in place doesn't suck too badly. <smiles>

Thanks again. Take care.
