Re: [orca-list] Writer 6.0.2.6 and say selected text

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

For some silly reason, Writer documents are claiming to implement the
selection interface (which is not the same thing as what we use for
getting selected text). As a result, Orca was trying to get the
selection from the interface and failing. I'm working around this now in
Orca.
