Re: [orca-list] Call for testing master with web content

I updated to master as of yesterday and have not encountered any regressions in subsequent firefox use.

Is Chrome OS accessible with Orca?

FWIW, I've seen this behavior elsewhere, so I suspect it is Firefox
leaking events, not Etherpad.


For instance, sometimes if I open this URL:


https://capmetro.org/planner/?#!P|SQ!input|Anderson/Gault,%20Stop%20ID%204580!start|yes


and I navigate away, waiting for a real-time transit update, my caret
presents as if it is still on the bus stop's page even though it isn't.


Anyhow, I now use Chromium/ChromeOS for browsing so can't test this
change, but thought I'd offer another data point if it might help.
