Re: Gedit focus issue (was, Re: Serious accessibility issue in Gnome 2.15.)

Hi all.  I just gave this a try.  I can confirm Al's findings.  And it
seems to occur any time you resize the window (e.g. if it's maximized
and you unmaximize it, the problem also occurs).

In answer to Will's questions/suggestions:

Focus is really back in the gedit text area.  I arrow around but Orca
says nothing.

This does get it working again!

Yep! On my Dapper machine this does not occur.  And to be sure I had the
same exact Orca bits, I just built from CVS on each machine.

Hope this helps! Take care.
