Re: [orca-list] table navigation in firefox

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I am sorry for reviving such an old discussion. The issue which had to 
do with the table cell navigation has been solved however I have found 
out another issue.
I am posting this as a response into this old thread because I have only 
been able to observe this at this single site and not elsewhere.
This is not related to the latest gecko refactor it is present for a 
while however I unfortunatelly did not care to report it earlier.
When going to 
http://atcomp.sk/zbozi.aspx?vypis=pe2&skladem=7&skup=1&kat=122&c=1119I5089O5090O5091P736I2709
The page is showing mixed content in english and czech. However there is 
a heading at level 2 saying Search results.
After this heading there are a few controls allowing further filtering 
the results and after these controls there is a table. That is the same 
table I was reffering to in my previous report related to this site.
Unfortunatelly this table can't be navigated into using quick navigation 
keys i.e. when pressing t or shift+t within a firefox document.
Is this because of a change in orca or is this some particular bad 
practice at the web authoring part?
Previously orca was able to find this table when using quick navigation 
to visit a table.

Thanks and greetings

Peter
