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

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,


After updating to orca master a few minutes ago, I can see this is 
working fine for me with both Gnome on X and Gnome on Wayland. I don't 
know what was causing those freezes on my system, however I have tested 
with Gnome on X literarly 2 minutes before upgrading orca and it stil 
froze for me. After updating orca I see no freezing and multi line cells 
like these are reading fine in libreoffice calc.



Greetings


Peter
