Re: [orca-list] Gmail bugs

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Nimer.

All three confirmed. The first one is a known issue and needs to be 
fixed in Firefox. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1616829

The second one seems to be due to Chrome spewing live region events. 
I'll see if I can stop that processing in Orca.

The third I will look into and presumably fix in Orca.

Thanks!
