Hi all, I've recently noticed a rather nasty problem with edgy. I've
noticed that if orca is started from a virtual console none of the orca
specific keystrokes will work. If I have orca start either on login or
from the launch menu everything works fine. I believe this has changed
quite recently with a ubuntu update in the last 3 or 4 days. Here are
some steps to try if anyone else would like to reproduce this.
First log into edgy and switch to a virtual console with for example
CTRL+ALT+F1. First export DISPLAY=:0 and then run orca. You should
find that no orca keystrokes such as the preferences menu or flat review
will work. If you have orca start on log in keys will work as expected.
Do any of you on the ubuntu development side of things have any thoughts
on this?
thanks much
Mike
