Re: [orca-list] problems when pasting big text in thunderbird

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanmarie diggs gmail com>]

The problem is bigger than that I'm afraid. :-(

What I did as an experiment is just ignore every single blessed
object:text-changed:insert event in the Thunderbird script. The problem
persisted. It's not that we're trying to say something; it's that we're
getting hundreds of events that we're queuing up.

I've since filed a bug against Mozilla asking for these events to be
limited: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510688

I'm playing around with "flood detection" at the moment, but it is very
very experimental, probably incredibly unreliable, and not something
that's going to make it into the upcoming release of Orca anyway --
assuming it ever makes it into the release. Therefore, our best bet
seems to be to get the apps in question (e.g. Thunderbird, Evolution) to
stop doing this to us.

Take care.
