Re: [orca-list] Interesting spatial changes in web layout rendering

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi again.

I believe I have this totally resolved -- and improved compared to what 
was happening in Orca 3.34 (for instance, there Orca was treating the 
"home" link as if it were on the same line as the "skip to main content" 
link.)

In testing, I also found and am now working around an issue in Chromium 
regarding bounding boxes for character ranges.

If you could pull the very latest master and let me know if there are 
any other issues recently introduced that are problematic, please let me 
know.  I plan to do a new release of 3.35.x within a day or two, but 
would like to fix any other outstanding issues such as the regression 
you reported.

Thanks again!
