Some ff3 oddities

Hello all,

Thought I'd report a few oddities I've seen with Orca and
ff3. I'm
running Orca revision 3677 and firefox 3 from a few days
ago.

The first "bug" is one I've seen for a while.
Here's how to reproduce
it.

1. Open any article on Wikipedia.
2. Press numpad plus to do a say all from the top of the
page
3. Orca will read the headings for the subsections of the
article, but
not the heading names themselves.

The second set of problems occur on slashdot.org. One is
that reading by
line in an article skips a lot of text, basically everything
after the
article category links. I'll describe this in more detail if
anyone
needs it.
The second bug is seen when using the "classic"
discussion system. While
reading comments using say all, Orca will read some comments
2 or 3
times. Needless to say, this is very annoying.

I hope these descriptions are useful. I've really been
impressed with
orca and firefox 3 ... I don't get to sit at the console of
this machine
very often, so whenever I'm home I fire up gnome and orca
and try to do
as much as I can with it.
Keep up all the great work, everyone!


Garrett

Dear Garrett,

Thank you for pointing these bugs out, I can indeed
reproduce the 
wikipedia bug, and have filed a bug report for it here:
http
://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520760
(or at least thats what i think you mean  )

I will have a look at the slashdot.org comment later on
today; we are 
already aware of slashdot issues, but the info you provide
sounds new to 
me (going from memory).

Once again, thanks

-Jon
