Re: [orca-list] gedit 3.12 and accessability with orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

A couple more questions regarding orca&gedit:
I've not used 3.12 enough to tell for sure if there's a difference re orca stopping to read msg body after a 
bit of use. This can happen after just a couple minutes of use, and I think sometimes happens even if focus 
was never taken off of gedit message, but I can't remember for sure about that last part. It happens more 
after things have been running longer, and saving message, moving or changing size seldom if ever help. 
Only closing the msg and reopening will get message read again, and sometimes this is short lived. 
I would not be surprised if this is due to my using xfce, (and now sometimes mate), and do not remember 
having the issue on Vinux4 using orca 3.4 and the gedit version used there. 

The other is gedit 3.12 specific. When I tab to the menu button after opening the menubar with f10 I get the 
full list of options. If however I shift tab back to  the menu button, (closer this way, I get the auto 
indent configuration menu with space count  options, whether to use spaces instead of tabs, etc. This is not 
100% sure however. Sometimes shift-tabbing to button does open the whole menu list, but so far I can't 
determine any difference in either focus or my procedure that could account for this...Is this normal, by 
design, are there ways to ensure a certain responce to pressing the button other than either using tab or 
shift tab to get to the menu button?
