Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird: Orca repeats two times the same sentence

They all need fixing. And until they (and possibly others we've yet to
discover) are fixed, Orca will have to keep its sad, fragile hacks. So I
encourage you to tackle them in whatever order the spirit moves you. :)

Having said that, the one I added on to your existing list (1525631) is
one that is sufficiently broken that I don't think we should hack around
it in Orca. Depending on the offset you provide, you'll get no text, an
end offset smaller than the start offset, all the text returned for a
single line.... It's a hot mess.
