Re: [orca-list] Google Docs Bugs

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Nimer.

Regarding the first issue, when you press Home Orca gets a live region 
announcement for "this". I am seeing this whether braille mode is 
enabled or not. I don't see any way for Orca to know that it shouldn't 
present the live region announcement. I guess maybe that should be 
stopped by Google Docs itself when braille mode is enabled. I'll follow 
up with Google.

On the second issue, I'll see why that's not getting presented by Orca 
but is by Firefox.

Thanks!
