Hey All: I noticed some messages being sent to the console when trying to reproduce this bug. I still cannot reproduce it, but I made a patch to get rid of the messages. Perhaps they are tickling something on your machines that's not being tickled on my machines? Attached is the patch. Save it as foo.txt in your svn directory and then run: patch -p0 < foo.txt It should make changes to default.py. Then build/install orca and rerun. If the problem goes away, please let me know.

Hi All:
I'm starting a new thread. Please respond to this thread for this
subject only. Please don't hijack other threads by doing a reply all on
some random message and then changing the subject. It ends up getting
very confusing.
It has been reported that adding new pronunciations causes a hang in
Orca. I have not seen this nor can I reproduce it with repeated
testing. As such, this is going to be hard for me to track down.
The latest test case that seems to work for at least one user is the
following:
1. Disable braille support in the braille page.
2. Click OK and restart orca.
3. Activate orca's preferences, locate the pronunciation page,
tab to the new entry button and press the space key.
The result is that orca stops completely and I need to press
ctrl+alt+backspace to restart gnome session.
Halim has also reported a similar hang to me in private e-mail. I
cannot reproduce this at all, so I'm going to need some help here.
Please see if you can reproduce this issue. If you can, please take
note of the exact things you did to cause it to happen. In addition, if
you can reproduce it, please try reproducing it with svnversion 4432 by
pulling svnversion 4432 using the following command:
svn co -r 4432 http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk orca-4432
This will create an orca-4432 directory that you can go into and
build/install orca from svnversion 4432. If you don't know how to
build/install orca from svn, you can try the instructions at
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/DownloadInstall. If you don't feel
comfortable with the instructions, though, don't do it. You might end
up breaking your installation of Orca if you don't know what you're doing.
In addition, if you can reproduce the problem, please also create a
debug file using the instructions at http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Debugging.
Finally, please be very specific about the operating system and version
you are using, what "gnome-about --version" gives you, which version of
orca you are using (running "svnversion" in your svn directory will be
very useful), etc. When I cannot reproduce a problem, all this
information can help me deduce what the problem might be.
Thanks!
Will
