Re: [orca-list] Orca doesn't like the edit fields of Evolution

[Sukil Etxenike <sukiletxe gmail com>]

Hi,
I already turn structural navigation off (otherwhise I can't type
anything), and Ctrl+Shift+E doesn't work in my case. I find it utterly
strange that Evolution doesn't work well with Orca: after all, both are
made by the same guys, aren't they?...
Thanks for your workarounds. With these glitches and all, I'm liking
Evolution so far.
Cheers,
Sukil
