Re: [orca-list] Loosing focus after clicking on a JS link

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

I just committed a change in Orca to make things a bit better. What is
happening is that the link you are on is removed from the document. We
don't know why when that happens. After that, content is added. It's
hard to reliably correct for that, so the change I made is basically to
do nothing and hope we get a new event that lets us recover. In the case
of this particular page, what we get allows us to get close, but you
will wind up at the top of the section where the new content is added.
I'll see if I can avoid that, but I'm already concerned that trying to
be too smart to work around this particular case may break more things
than it fixes. So I hope this change I've committed is "good enough" for
now.
