hi
I'm no expert, but in firefox at least, bookmarks usually work like
they're supposed to, even across sessions. Not always, sometimes
they'll break, but usually. In other apps, it's a lot more hit or
miss. I'd been wondering how orca jumped back to the bookmarked location
.
Thanks

Heh. That mean I can delete that code too? <grins> Jokes aside,
your above answer makes your next answer pretty predictable:

I don't think they have ever broken, that I can remember anyway.


The sorts of things that could cause them to break include:

1. Their child index changing (i.e. used to be the fourth item, now
is the fifth). 2. Object comparison failing (Orca cannot tell a
given object is the saved bookmark).

If you never save your bookmarks, there's a healthy chance that
neither 1 nor 2 will occur. I've not done exhaustive testing, but
my gut along with reading over the code, suggests things might be
pretty fragile between sessions. Now that you know you can save
them to disk, mind giving that some real-world testing and
confirming/refuting my hunch?
