Re: [orca-list] how to build atspi2 infrastructure

[John Covici <covici ccs covici com>]

Thanks, I do havethosetools already installed, it must have gotten
them on a recent update.

The problems I am having isthat whenever I try to do alt-f2 and run a
program, all orca says is no  focus.  Since gnomeitself seems to be
working, I can go to the top bar, andsee the menus up there and log
out, I figured it was something to do with the accessibility stack.  I
thought trying the latest versions of that might be a good idea.

Thanks.
