Re: [orca-list] Patch that needs testing

OK, I have it in place and haven't lost any speech.  The only thing
I've been noticing and I can't say if it hasn't been all along but it
seems like large lists in things like Nautilus might be slower than
before.  Just open a directory in list view with over 150 items and
see how long it takes to build and speak the list.  Other than that,
Orca seems stable enough.
