Re: FW: re-open request for issue 31

Hi Janina, Steve, and all,

>> Maybe comb the bug reports for WONTFIX text issues and check for a pattern?

> You're reading my mind! <grin>

The query for WONTFIX a11y_text-alt  Bugs is:
http://tinyurl.com/7kkfsw2

It might be good to recheck all of the a11y bugs to make sure all text
bugs indeed have the a11y_text-alt keyword applied.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Laura
