Re: [orca-devel] traceback when debugging eclipse

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanmarie diggs gmail com>]

Hey again.

Can you reliably make this problem occur? The reason I ask is that the
call to child.getRole() is in a for loop which is iterating over each
child in app. Therefore, child should not be None. So I can add a sanity
check to make the traceback not appear, but I'd really like to know what
child is (or in this case, what child was) and why it's gone away.

I've opened https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621985 for the
issue.

Thanks again!
