Re: Collecting Wayland issues [Was: default desktop]
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709999: Orca's flat review
feature to click on elements requires that being fixed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710012. Orca's mouse review
feature depends on this.
I believe there are still other bugs here and there, but the above two
are definitely noteworthy given their impact on Orca users.
