Hello dolphinboy,

Thank you for the bug report, can you please attach screenshot of the problem if this is possible? Can you clarify also if this problem still occurs with Orca enabled?

Thanks again, Alex.

Launchpad managed to lose it somewhere along the line.

Thanks, Alex.

we definitly need a report; maybe this is not even related to orca. Can you still reproduce this crash?

can't seem to make orca sreen reader funtion at all...i found it on add
apps but can't get it to show up...you want to teach me how? then i can

it before (i'm having another geezer attack)...i'll do whatever you say,
short of giving up my firstborn...who gave me this electronic
extend-your-mind box thingy...compooter. har-har-har, says i....

Using Feisty Herd 4 and starting Orca from 'System > Control Centre > Personal > Assistive Technology ...' there is no entry in the applications menu for fiddling with the settings.

Alex, can you reproduce this orca bug? If not, maybe you can ask
accessibility team members to reproduce?

dolphinboy, the accessibility team is a team that Ubuntu has that helps manage tools for those who could not experience Ubuntu under normal conditions.

Hello dolphinboy,

Can I ask you to post a screenshot of the Orca Magnifier settings pane of the Orca Preferences Window? Under normal Edgy settings I cannot reproduce this bug.

Also which versions of Orca, Firefox and Ubuntu are you using?

Thanks again, Alex.
