Re: [orca-list] Status bar presentation updated and includes braille support

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Orca no longer announces the name of the window when I use alt + tab and 
even the status bar is not read.

I can hardly use this version. I am using 3.6.2 to reply to this email.
