Re: [orca-list] Website that shows links across multiple lines

Hi again.

I just took a look at this site. I think Orca is doing the right thing. 
When you arrow line by line Orca moves you amongst each line of text. 
(Yeah, I know, Captain Obvious to the rescue!) But the reason I say this 
is that there is a line of text with "Maintenance" and there is a line 
of text with "Request." Because those are two separate lines of text 
with two separate accessible objects, I think they should be treated 
like two separate lines of text.

But let's for the moment say I'm willing to make an exception: What is 
the definitive rule which tells me when two lines of text which are made 
up of two separate accessible objects should treated as if they were one 
line of text?

If you can come up with such a definitive rule, and if the rest of the 
community agrees that your rule does indeed make sense, I will try to 
implement that. My fear, however, is that trying to "fix" this issue for 
you is going to break the user experience (at least in the minds of some 
users) for other content. That said, I'm willing to consider the 
proposal you define to address this.

Thanks!
