Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Selecting text with a screen reader

Edward,
While I think that I have a fairly good understanding of the distinction 
between LibreOffice Fresh and LibreOffice Still, I'd prefer to leave it 
up to someone else to address this, as I don't know if I fully 
understand TDF's logic in keeping both branches. The Fresh branch are 
newer versions and the Still versions are slightly older ones.
