hi
I'll add that I've confirmed that this issue is either orca specific,
or linux specific. I've tested with mellisa's pc and firefox on
windows, and I didn't have the issue of getting stuck on the homepage
link.
Thanks

I just tested and got stuck in the same way.

Also, on Tuesday, I had another problem, about which I've had 
correspondence with the Bookshare folks.  I tried using the Web
reader to read a book.  The buttons for table of contents,
previous, and next did not work.  The help and settings buttons did
work.  I didn't want to change settings, though.  The help button
gave me keystrokes for the buttons that hadn't worked, but those
keystrokes didn't work either. This seems to be a Firefox problem,
since I had it on our Windows machine using Firefox.  (I tried
Internet Explorer, but the problems I had may relate to something
different rather than to Bookshare.  (It seems to be Bug City over
there at the moment.)

I infer that this arises in connection with the changes on
Bookshare that kicked in on Tuesday or so.  On Monday, I was up
there and did not have these problems.

I do get stuck at the top of the book share pages in these links
if trying to use tab and have to go down with arrowing or
structural nav keys, at least h works. And yes, both the links
you mention are read together when tab is used. Things are normal
on most other pages on the bookshare site however, such as when I
use the my account link I've not tried with other browsers, much
less on windows, but will see how chrome performs later. -- B.H.

hi all I've noticed a strange issue when navigationg to 
http://www.bookshare.org. This seems to be either linux specific,
or firefox specific, as I tested with mellisa's windows 7 machine
and I didn't encounter this issue. When the page first loads, try
to tab paste the homepage link. Orca will get stuck on that link.
It also reports both skip to content and bookshare homepage as one
link, saying "bookshare homepage link. Skip to content link" with
only one tab. I'm not sure how to debug this. Looking in the links
list, orca detects them as separate links, so maybe it's something
odd with the site. If not, it's something strange with firefox. Can
anyone confirm this? Thanks Kendell clark
