Re: [orca-list] Orca with Gmail in Chrome

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Nimer, all.

This should now be fixed in Orca master -- and only Orca master. We're 
too close to the 3.36 release for me to include it in that branch 
without some more testing.

I'll consider it for inclusion in 3.36 after I hear from you and others 
that nothing weird suddenly happened with multi-line entries. ;)

Thanks!
