Re: [orca-list] Got Orca updated, but still having issues

Hi, Chris.

I've just tried to test what I understand to be your problem.  I think 
I'm getting the same result you are, but tell me if I'm on or off track.

I'm using Firefox 52.6.0 and Orca 3.26.13 on Debian Stretch.

I went to www.debian.org.  I then used the h key to get to the heading 
where the description of Debian begins.  I pressed control plus 
down-arrow to select that line, than did it several more times.  Orca 
did not tell me that the text was selected.  I then used control-c, and 
it did tell me that the selected text was copied.  (I forget the exact 
wording.)

I then opened gedit and pasted the text into an empty document.  The 
text was there, although arranged a bit differently than on the Web page.

Is this what you're talking about?
