Re: [orca-list] Text event and clipboard changes committed to master

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi Joanie.
I've noticed two small issues.

1. In thunderbird I have the option Automatically start speaking a page 
when it is first loaded checked.
When I open a message using TB only the first line is read.

2. Now, when I use the command copies the content under flat review to 
clipboard, the copy is announced two times.
