discovered that calc is not as good with orca during data entry

[Dave Hunt]

Greetings!

For those who need Libreoffice a lot, and who don't want to rebuild 
atspi core to fix a timing issue, I think the suggestion of turning the 
Libreoffice Quickstarter on is reasonable, and maybe should be offered 
as a tip somewhere in the Orca wiki.  It would be better, though, if the 
atspi core fix made it into the final release of Ubuntu 12.04, as it 
would likely fix a bunch of access problems resulting from orca scripts 
not loading on time.


Thanks!


Dave
