Nice, so this has already been fixed.

What do you mean by "visible"? I can't really reproduce this bug with
orca 2.30.

Maybe you want to toggle "Grab focus on objects when navigating" in
the Iceweasel specific Orca preferences. If you have Iceweasel
open, hit Insert+Ctrl+Space to fire up the app specific
preferences in Orca, go to the "Iceweasel" tab and
down to "Grab focus on objects when navigating". Toggle it,
hit OK, and retry.

If you can isolate the exact fix for orca 2.22 without upgrading
the whole package, we can think about a stable update.

Again, if you can isolate the exact change, we can maybe think
about a stable update, but we can not just upgrade to a new version instable.

I dont quite understand what you are saying.

You are aware that backports.org is not officially supported, are you?
