Re: [orca-list] pinpointed problem with orca being unresponsive

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

I can confirm that gnome-terminal behaves as described below, on my 
machines.

While small/medium amounts of data is output to the terminal it is still 
possible to get Orca to quieten down.
It seems once it reaches over a certain amount, (or refreshed/outputted 
rappidly), Orca fails to fall scilant.
I have seen this occur when dist-update for example, or encoding with 
lame/mencoder/oggenc.

If i regularly press control to scilance it will empty the buffer and 
read more recent data, wheras if it is left for a longer period to read, 
pressing control will not make Orca catch up.
