Re: [orca-list] Confidential diary/journaling with Orca and Ubuntu 18.04

[Christopher Gilland <clgilland07 gmail com>]

Actually, I have been told that in Libreoffice, there's an issue where 
structural navigation doesn't actually work correctly with anything 
aside table navigation with Orca. I'm not sure if Joni's gotten this 
fixed in the latest master or not. I don't believe she has though, and 
I'm not in front of my Linux laptop right this sec where I can test it out.
