Re: [orca-list] Does Orca not respect role="application" on anything other than body elements?

Hi Nolan.

I just took a quick glance (as I'm in the middle of something else). But
as a general rule, Orca respects role="application" on page elements
when there is not something that looks like caret-navigable text. And
your paragraph child looks like caret-navigable text.
