Re: [orca-list] bug when trying to use bookmarks in webkit applications

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Kendell.

This is a known issue. Bookmarks currently have web-specific
functionality just for Gecko. Fixing this for WebKitGtk is on my todo
list. After I finish merging the document support in for Gecko, I'll
then do the browse/focus mode, the bookmarks, and everything else for
WebKit. This will also require further fixes in WebKitGtk itself, which
I'm also doing.
