Re: [orca-list] problems with fanfiction.net, and fictionpress and clickable items

Hey Majid.

I believe the problem is two-fold assuming the steps to reproduce are
exactly as you say.

1. In order to change one of the values, like rating, you need to be
   in focus mode. But when you're in focus mode structural navigation
   commands (including the list of elements dialogs) don't work. Because
   in focus mode Orca just passes along all commands to the browser.
   That way Orca doesn't stomp on web app commands. If you are not
   switching to browse mode after changing the rating, then I would
   expect nothing to happen the second time you relaunch the clickables
   dialog. If this is what you're doing (or failing to do), it is
   something you have to fix in yourself. <smiles>

2. The Apply clickable isn't immediately added. Bah. So if you fix the
   problem in yourself, you'll get a clickable list dialog but Apply
   won't be added. I just added some cache clearing to Orca master which
   should fix this problem. Fixed it for me anyway.

As for why restarting Orca fixes it, believe it or not that's not
strange. It solves the first problem because if you don't manually
change focus (e.g. by pressing Tab in the filters), you're in browse
mode; not focus mode. It solves the second problem because the Apply
clickable is already there and there's no stale cache.

Anyhoo, please pull master and retest and see if the problem is now
solved for you. Thanks!
