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

hi
I know there were accessibility improvements from 1.10 to 1.12, I just
can't remember what. Still, it can't hurt to use the latest mate
available. I know there were some updates to atril, the pdf reader that
were supposed to make it accessible, but it's not usable yet. I'm
waiting on joanie to see if that's fixable in orca or whether I have to
file a bug. There doesn't seem to be any caret nav anywhere, so probably
a bug needs to be filed.
Thanks
Kendell Clark
