Re: [orca-list] menus in google apps suddenly inaccessible in Chromium

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

I landed a fix in Chromium.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1287066

This is not an Orca bug nor something I can work around in Orca. When
events go completely missing, Orca doesn't have any way of knowing that
anything has changed like where you are in a menu.

Sorry!
