Re: [orca-list] Using Orca when working on documents with tracked changes

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Today I have updated to libreoffice 4.3.2 and accept / reject changes 
dialog does not again behave well for me. I can read the rows of the 
table holding all the changes but I can't read individual columns.
I need to figure out if this is something with me, with my system or 
possible libreoffice issue.

Greetings

Peter
