Re: [orca-list] orca jumps from some lines while selecting a text on Firefox

Although what you say sounds reasonable, I can select a text of a web
page opened into Firefox in OS Windows easily but when I open the same
web page into Firefox in Linux I can not select it correctly. Anyway I
will expose that process to a sighted person to find out what happen
during selecting on Firefox and report it to you.
