Re: [orca-list] any full time mate users?

hi
Not accessible? You mean you couldn't get to it or that orca wouldn't
read it? If you couldn't get to it, press control+alt+tab to get to the
bottom panel. Then, while on the botom panel press
control+alt+shift+tab. This should land you on the top panel. If orca
won't read it, it might've gotten stuck on the panel. To fix this, press
alt+f2 and in the dialog that comes up, type: mate-panel --replace. That
will reset the panel and orca will read it again.
Thanks
