Re: [orca-list] Heads-up: I've branched for 3.14 and please test master

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Please try doing the following.
0) make sure both orca and firefox are started.
1) Open the page http://live.gnome.org/Orca in Firefox.
2) With this page open press alt+d to focuss the address bar.
3) Repeatedly press shift+tab keys until orca announces something like 
"Rethat link".
4) Now press the tab key alone and notice you hear orca presenting "entry".
5) Now press either the tab key alone or one of the arrow keys in order 
to find out you can't move and you are stuck in this position.

I was not sure whether this is an orca or a firefox issue but now it 
appears it is also happening for me even when switching off orca after 
performing step 3 in the list above. So either orca was working this 
around all the time up to now or this is a new firefox issue.

I am running Orca latest master as of today, firefox 31.0, gnome 3.12 on 
arch linux.

Greetings

Peter
