Re: [orca-list] Your thoughts on item position and count in menus?

[Fernando Botelho <Fernando Botelho F123 org>]

Dear Joanie and all,

Who knows, maybe there will be somewhere else a software package where 
the distinction described here should reasonably be reflected in the way 
Orca presents the information. However, in this case and for any 
situation that currently comes to mind, I agree with everyone else. Lets 
leave Orca's behavior as is.

Thanks,

Fernando
