Re: [orca-list] [more-info] Re: Possible bug with orca



I have managed it using orca 2.28.3 and a fairly recent git version (I cloned the git repository yesterday).

>From what I could find in the debug files it is to do with the event source becoming invalid in some way and so not working properly with pyatspi. I don't know if it could be affected by the speed of various computers (on a slower one could the actual object disappear before orca processes it fully).

Also I have to say it is one of those problems I only see sometimes (most times but not always).

Hi,
Which version of orca?
I tried with version 2.28.1 and the last version from git.
No way to reproduce.

Hello,
I have been doing a bit of debugging with orca to try and track down what was going on. Now the problem seems to be that sometimes when the window:deactivated event is processed there is a problem in orca getting the state of the event source. The trace back seems to show the exception comes from pyatspi. Now I don't know if the issue is really in pyatspi or orca (I think I have found a work around in orca but couldn't say what the wider implication of my change may end up being, orca developers feedback please).

I have attached a patch for this, would this be better moved to a bug report?

Hi michael,
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I can not reproduce.

I tried to run from a terminal session and from the run dialog.
No locks.

Hello,
I have been creating some very simple silly apps for learning about the accessibility stuff in gnome and scripting for orca. Now one of these has revealed a possible bug in orca. It appears that if you exit an application while in flat review orca may get stuck (I have a memory of something similar some time ago, I think it may have been in thunderbird, may be gnome-terminal as well).

How to reproduce:
1. Start the python script (attached)
2. Use flat review to view the label
3. press alt+f4 to exit
Expected, orca will speak the window which gains focus
actual: orca gets stuck and freezes the desktop unless you use the mouse to select something or restart orca (may need switching to a text console).
