Re: [orca-list] alt key not working in gnome

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

I don't have an idea why this is happening.  If you have access to the Orca 
wiki, I would suggest going to the debugging page and find out how to 
produce a debug.out file.  I would also, if you can manage it, start orca 
from within gnome-terminal and capture the output and error streams.  Then, 
I would suggest that you post these files to the list and hopefully one of 
the developers will see what is going wrong.  Good luck,

dave
