hi
I've been testing bookmarks, and they work fabulously. Every
application I've tried to use them on, they work. WIth 1 exception.
Any application that's written in qt, orcca refuses to even set
bookmarks in, let alone jump to them. Is this possible to fix? NOt
that I'm asking for a fix, just for someone to look into it and see
what's going on? There are also lots of issues with flat review in qt
applications, but from what I've seen on the gnome a11y channel those
have been largely fixed in qt5 and not going to be backported to qt4,
so there's nothing to be done about it there.
Thanks a lot for your help, orca is even more awesome now
