Re: [orca-list] Email client [was "Re: Some info on orca"]

Hello,
Regarding inaccurate position being reported after content is added / 
removed to / from the thunderbird message list and even other lists in 
thunderbird I am afraid it's because of the following mozilla bug: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743568
    Unfortunatelly guys from Mozilla accessibility team appear to have 
difficulties reproducing this issue thus trying to move forward with it.
Unfortunatelly there is not much community efforts when it comes to 
community support and development for thunderbird on linux either so 
unless some of us affected will get more skills to tackle this we can 
only wait for now I am afraid.

Greetings

Peter
