Re: [orca-list] Landed some non-trivial changes to Orca's web support

Joanie:

I read your post and immediately started a fresh build of Master. Even
if the fix is buggy, it is most welcome, I'm so very sick of one word

I will, of course, report after I've had some experience with the new
benhavior.

Thanks!

Janina
