Re: [orca-list] Problems with orca and evolution

I have noticed it for about the same length of time, but these really
could do with fixing. The one about speech while writing a message when
new e-mail arrives, I didn't realise speech returns after sometime
without needing to alt-tab, so is this due to an inefficiency in orca? I
know orca can sometimes get unresponsive and take a time to catch up.
These slow parts of orca lets it down and makes it seem inefficient to
use (when compared to other systems (command line, and sometimes even
windows).
