Re: [orca-list] Dealing with seemingly blank combo boxes.

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Jeffery. Are there concrete steps I could use to see the problem
(that don't require me financially committing to any thing)? Could you
capture a full debug.out showing navigation to the combo box, expanding
it, and then Orca being silent as you navigate within the list?

Thanks!
