Re: [orca-list] problems to use alt+f2

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

It's correct. And my theory appears to be correct. I see key events from 
your arrowing in Thunderbird and I see key events from your typing in 
Gedit. But I see nothing from your pressing Alt+F2 and typing in the run 
dialog.

I will do some tests locally in a working session and then send you an 
event listener.
