Re: [orca-list] orca crash on exiting firefox

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Has anyone noticed lately that 'orca -q' from a native console is not
killing the processes? To demo this, have Orca running and ps ax |grep
orca and notice what is running.  Then type 'orca -q' and then run the
same ps command again.  I would expect the Orca instances to go away.
Instead, they're still there.

Anyone else observe this? If so, I might post a bug because I thought
'orca -q' was suppostd to clear those out.  I often do this when I
lose speech in gnome and wanna start the whole Orca instance over
again.
