Re: [orca-list] two inaccessible mate native applications

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
I'm not seeing any caret mode anywhere, either in the menus, or in the
toolbar. As a last resort, I looked in the help for atril, but no luck,
so it's bug filing time. I did try to get orca into the scroll area by
simulating a left click on the text, since flat review can read the text
area, but no luck. I'll reply back with the bug number so you can keep
track of progress. Thanks for murging my changes, it's made mate more
accessible and all it took was one line.
Thanks
Kendell Clark
