Re: [orca-list] Seamonkey and random jumping with structure navigation keys in textboxes in forms

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Storm and Max.

That SeaMonkey popup is so, so broken. :( That said, I've just committed
a sad hack to master which seems to minimize the reported problem. If
you could test and let me know if it sucks less and doesn't break
anything else in SeaMonkey, that would be great.

Thanks!
