Re: [orca-list] Orca performance

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
Yes my example may fall under the topics in that bug, but I think there
may be something else in there as well, as pressing tab to move between
page elements also leads to a slow response around the time/date section
of that page, so not just moving line by line as described in that bug
report and what it seems to be trying to solve, although it may come
down to the same reason (I just don't know enough of the internal
workings of Orca to actually know). One thing I did notice in that bug
report is something to do with combo boxes, that example I give does
have two combo boxes with quite a number of items each on the same line,
might this be part of the problem?
