Fwd: How to enable focus & caret tracking in magnifier

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help!
I checked the values of focus-tracking and caret-tracking and they were ok.

So I did some more testing and I found out that focus & caret tracking
(partially) works with:
- gedit
- the file browser
- the terminal window
- Rythmbox *
- Evolution *

* = caret tracking doesn't work, magnifier scrolls to wrong position when
caret moves

However, it doesn't work at all with:
- Firefox
- LibreOffice

Is there any way to enable caret & focus tracking with Firefox and
LibreOffice?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Bas
