Re: [orca-list] Google Chrome: Navigating Gmail is unreliable

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Andy.

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look. In the meantime, some general 
questions:

1. Does this also happen in Firefox, or just with Chrome?
2. If it only happens in Chrome, any idea if this is a regression? As
   you are aware, a few were recently introduced.
3. Any ideas how I can reliably reproduce the problem? For instance,
   does it always happen with one particular message?
