Re: [orca-list] could the flat review changes be extended to the desktop?

hi
Not normally, but I think I can, at least most of them. I guess I
should've said "reimplemented on the desktop" and not "extended" since
you're right, flat review and normal arrow key navigation are completely
different. I'm wondering if the inability to update the labels is due to
some kind of cache? I'm only guessing since I really have no idea.
