Re: [orca-list] thunderbird - typing and reading with orca

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu gmail com>]

I don't know about speech as I rarely have it turned on but I know with 
braille and the default installs of orca and thunderbird on ubuntu 20.04 I 
do not see on the display what I am typing and in fact I don't know 
exactly where the focus is.  I can see my message by going out of the 
email I am typing and coming back in.

Not a serious issue as I only use thunderbird for a couple of lightly used 
email accounts and do most of my email with alpine.
