Re: [orca-list] Multi line cell content in Libreoffice calc freezes orca

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Peter.

I was not able to reproduce Orca freezing. For instance, Orca still
presents the Calc File menu. That said, I was able to reproduce Orca not
speaking the cell content and have fixed that in both master and the
gnome-3-22 branch. Could you please pull and confirm?

Thanks!
