Hi,

First, thanks a lot for this feedback! Much appreciated :)

Can you still reproduce this bug with Tails 1.2?
Bonus points if you try to reproduce this on current Debian stable
(Wheezy): then, we could report this bug to Debian, and hopefully see
it fixed there instead of having to "wait" for Tails based on
Debian Jessie.

Same question. It might be that Firefox 31 improved the situation.

We don't ship Thunderbird yet (
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5663).
Does this happen to you in Tails?

Good to know. That'll have to wait for Debian Jessie, unfortunately.

The basics work fine, but many things are known to be broken:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/roadmap#Tails_4.0
We haven't run any Tails/Jessie ISO through our QA process yet, so we
can't guarantee that it meets our security and anonymity requiements.
But it's exactly the right time to test accessibility support in
there, because it will soon be too late to get bugfixes into
Debian Jessie.

Unfortunately, we haven't worked on our ticket #7500 (that you
commented on two weeks ago) for our Jessie-based version either :(
Any taker?
