Re: [orca-list] Writer suddenly closed and work lost

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I've been using the latest Dev version of OO from ArchLinux and
haven't experienced the crash very much lately.  It has happened on
rare occasion but not often enough for me to give up on it.  I just
got through building gnome up on my new 64 bit laptop with Arch also
and so far, OO hasn't failed there but I still get that goofy loss of
speech when starting up Writer or Calc but as soon as I alt_tab once,
then the proper screen gains focus and all  is fine.  Once when
terminating from Calc, I lost speech so when I hit the enter key,
speech came back and I was dumped into the generic document open
dialog.  I have filed bugs and supporting output for these.  I can't
remember the exact numbers right now but can look for them if updates
are needed.  Unfortunately, these do not happen all the time and are
thus hard for people to duplicate, let alone fix.
