Re: [orca-list] an interesting bug

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Kendell.

I just tried Orca master with Firefox nightly. I'm using the Desktop
keyboard layout. With this in mind:

1. Orca always announces when I toggle caps lock on and off.
2. Alt+Shift+B brings up the list of buttons if I'm in page content.
3. Alt+Shift+B does not bring up the list of buttons if I'm not in page
   content (e.g. if I move focus to the address bar before using the
   command). This behavior is on purpose.

I'm not sure why Orca is not announcing the toggling of caps lock for
you. When you use the Orca commands for web content, are you sure you're
in the web content and not in Firefox's GUI?

On a related note, while all bugs are interesting, having a hint in the
subject regarding what the nature of the bug is would be appreciated.
Thanks!
