Re: [orca-list] alt-tab popups are not spoken as they pop up

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

I believe the behavior Lorenzo is describing here is a regression.  The 
Orca script for metacity (the window manager) is depending upon 
receiving "text inserted" events for the metacity status bar when the 
user presses Alt+Tab.  It appears as though the first time you press 
Alt+Tab, these events are not delivered.  But, when you continue to hold 
Alt and then release/press Tab, the events are delivered.  The resulting 
behavior is that Orca will not present the first window you might end up 
on as the result of an Alt+Tab.
