Re: [orca-list] Please test master with Gtk+ 3 (re typeahead search and caja event spam)

Hi Jean-Philippe.

The other day I removed some more "noise." Have you tested the latest
master? As for not announcing "text" at all, I continue to think that's
a bad idea because you are in the text entry and being in the text entry
means you are not in the icons. Being in the text entry and not in the
icons impacts what keystrokes work and what keystrokes don't work and
what the keystrokes that do work will do.
