Re: [orca-list] Firefox selection issue

[Alex ARNAUD <alexarnaud hypra fr>]

Hello Christopher,

I see a really strange things. When I follow your steps pressing 
shit+down arrow doesn't select only one line but a bunch of lines.

It's not an Orca issue because I reproduce the same behavior without Orca.

Best regards,
Alex.
