Re: [orca-list] got loss of speech after exiting firefox

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I had one of these crashes yesterday afternoon and I captured some debug 
logs and filed them with a bug; sorry, I forget the number off top of my 
head but an easy to repro is to open a gnome terminal and start hitting 
the keypad enter key. Very shortly for me after that, I completely lost 
speech. Hopefully the debug outs will help. JoanMarie was fortunately 
able to repro it on her Open Solaris machine.

I really hope that some of these speech loss fixes will reach over into 
other scenarios as well.
