Re: [orca-list] orca cannot review by word or character in qt applications

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

This is known and has been forever with qt aps as far as I know.
You  do not get the same behavior with flat review as you do with gtk and other accessible interfaces.
There are no exceptions as far as I know.
