Re: [orca] Re: Braille navigation issues with Orca 44.1

Ok, I see.

So the behavior you expect is not actually implemented by Orca, it's the
a2 screen driver that takes precedence in the text fields because it
knows it brings better support in that case (the cursor routing you get
is achieved by the brltty core itself, not the a2 driver which is only
the "messenger").

So it's not really Orca that "depends" on brltty-x11, it's just that
brltty-x11 is an interesting complement to Orca, to improve screen
reading.

That being said, perhaps the orca package should still recommend
brltty-x11, the same way it recommends xbrlapi which also improves it.

We however need to be very cautious because installing brltty-x11
installs brltty, which enables usb-serial drivers which hurt ftdi serial
adapters users. I'll see how to arrange that.
