Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird Improvements in Daily Builds Noticed

[Alex ARNAUD <alexarnaud hypra fr>]

Hello Peter and thanks for sharing this regression with us,

I've added in CC Jörg from Thunderbird team who is in charge of 
regression in the Thunderbird project. Maybe It could answer your question.

I'm personally not aware of such bug report but I don't have the time to 
track bug of all projects.

Best regards,
Alex.
