Re: [orca-list] When backspacing, object replace character is heard (final email of the night, promise!!)

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

I can confirm what Andy is stating, but theoretically this could happen 
in other cases. The problem is that an entire object is being deleted, 
so the event we're getting is for the single embedded object character. 
Normally we get events with the deleted text so we can present that.

I will see if I can address this problem by getting the text of the 
about-to-be-deleted object. If it doesn't work reliably, we'll need to 
get a change made in the browsers.
