Re: [orca-list] pdf files

Hi all.

Updating the caret position was fixed in Evince 3.12.2  and works for me
using Evince 3.14 and Orca master (though Orca stable should work too,
as long as it's not too old).

Does the problem happen all the time, or just occasionally? Also instead
of clicking via Orca, does it work if you Tab to the list of find
results, arrow to the one you want, and press Escape? The caret should
be updated as the selection changes.
