Re: [orca-list] orca and eclipse

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Did the version of eclipse which came with ubuntu freeze when you closed
it?

This freezing on closing eclipse is something I have found in general. I
don't know what causes it, the only way I found to continue was to
logout and log back in (you could use kill to stop it, but that's your
choice to make).

I think there is an orca bug about this (as this freezes orca as well,
but I couldn't say whether this really is orca or eclipse causing the
problem).

I have just looked for a bug on this, not filed against orca, it seems
possibly more general, see bug 546542
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546542). I don't know fully
what happened with this bug as the indication there was that it was
reported against the wrong product/component and I couldn't find any
other on the topic.
