Re: [orca-list] firefox and new tabs

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey again Vojta.

So the problem seems due to some unfortunate ordering in events from
Gecko apps. I've worked around this in Orca, at least for the cases I
was seeing. Now the caret navigation works as expected for me.

A known issue, which I'll look into shortly, is that now Orca is not
announcing the page tab you switched to; it's announcing your new caret
location only. I need to solve this known issue separately and in a
different part of the code. Hence I'm doing them as independent commits.

If you could test to see if the caret nav issue is fixed for you in Orca
master, that would be great.

Thanks!
