[orca-list] Orca breaking on superuser [on Accessible Coconut accesssible distro w/latest orca-master]



Caveat: This may be a distro specific issue, I only have one distro to test but I can reproduce this consistently. I actually discovered it while setting up youtube-dl config inPluma.


1. Open any program, for instance, Pluma with sudo. Orca will not read anything as it's a blank document. Open a menu and scroll around, type something,Orca will not react.

2. Close Pluma.


3. orca --replace


Orca should restart and say screenreader on, correct? It doesn't. It won't restart at all, and typing orca, orca --replace or hitting super+alt+S will not restart it.

I'm unable to get a debug log or this one as it stops after I do th sudo <program> command and won't log anything else

Caveats: I'm using orca-master


I'm using a customized Ubuntu based accessible distro


This only happens on graphical programs, not terminal based apps, so far I've run into it in Pluma, Grub customizer, Auacity, and any graphical program that requires superuser access. Amusingly I ran into it on a live session installer once.

Caveat #3: I'll provide links. To test this, you'll need virtualbox, so get that, then go to cococfrix.com and go down to download, and get the latest iso, it ships with 3.29.9 pre but I'm using Orca-master for this...and yes I did test with the default version that distro shipped with, same end result. I've told the guy who puts the distro together with no response yet so I thought I'd ask you smart lot here to see if it's an Orca issue, an Accessible Coconut issue, or it's only on my laptop and no other systems at all.
