[Nvda-dev] renaming of navigator object

[Lubos Pintes]

Hi again,
I am reading this discussion and I completely agree with Roberto. The 
object navigation in current state is often confusing, sometimes I have 
problems to find something. Object list or some kind of hierarchical 
navigation would be very useful. I don't thing about the new dialog, but 
about perhaps rethinking of object navigation to bring some system to 
it. I thing, that many user refuse to use NVDA because of difficulty to 
learn the object navigation.problems
