Re: [orca-list] bug: Reading text in entry fields on some entry pages does not work

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

The title field is only one line long so the caret doesn't move up or
down within it. So I can reproduce that, but it's not a bug. The
description field is multiple lines and Orca presents that correctly for
me. If you can reproduce it for the description field where multiple
lines of text are present, please test with Orca master and Firefox
nightly. And if you can still reproduce it, I guess I need more help
from you pinning down the problem.
