Re: [orca-list] Configuring CardDAV in Mozilla Thunderbird 102

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hello,

I don't have experience with this particular button, but there
definitely are some stubbornn elements in TB.


Did you try inducing a click right away, instead of focusing with flat
review?


FR tends to be somewhat inconsistent on some places, but fortunately,
this inconsistency often influences just the reading.


Clicking works more often. If you invoke a click (Orca+7 on laptop
layout) right away without entering FR, the system focused element is
clicked.


Alternatively, if it doesn't work, another trick is to use Orca+K (in
the laptop layout) for focusing the current word. Interestingly, this
often tends to work even in cases when the general flat review either
doesn't work at all or is limited.


I checked it out and the button seems to work with the click on my side,
as far as I've understood correctly which button is discussed.


Best regards


Rastislav
