[orca-list] Problem with thunderbird reporting message information after deleting messages

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I have noticed a problem with orca reporting wrong information about 
messages after deleting messages. I am not quite sure on the exact cause 
of this but here is my best description.

When I read a message and then exit the message window (I view messages 
in a new window rather than use the preview pane) and then I press the 
delete key quickly (possibly before orca even starts reading the message 
information from the message list, certainly before orca has finished 
reading all the message information) then I get the following problem: 
orca now reports a message information incorrectly (the message that 
then got focus in the list). When I say incorrectly what I seem to have 
is the subject from the message I deleted and the sender from the 
message which finally got highlighted. This problem does not seem to be 
corrected by moving around thunderbird or by even minimising thunderbird 
and then alt tabbing back to it. The only way I have found to correct it 
is to close thunderbird and restart it. Now I can't confirm what 
thunderbird shows in the message list as I can't read it and haven't got 
someone who can check it visually. I have tried checking what is there 
with flat review and this also gives the same incorrect information.

I have noticed this for some time and still getting it with orca 2.28.0. 
Does anyone else experience this? Also can anyone suggest whether this 
is actually an orca bug or is it a problem with in thunderbird?
