Hi Michael. Quick response without having had the opportunity to look into it. Orca doesn't cache information between events; just for the current event. In other words, if we get say a focus: event, we'll get the details for speech, and cache those details for braille. But the very next event that comes in, regardless of its type, will cause us to dump that cache. So, for all intents and purposes, Orca doesn't cache
However libatspi and so pyatspi does cache, and uses events to update said cache.
information. Therefore, if Orca is reporting outdated information, my guess would be that Thunderbird is providing us with outdated information.
Other possibilities include at-spi2 haveing a bug that allows caches to get out of sync, or thunderbird failing to emit an event libatspi listens for to update its cache. I'd be interested to know if this issue is present with at-spi1, especially since I don't remember seeing this before. Trev
Creating a simple pyatspi listener in python would be a way to test what Orca has access to. Hope this helps. --joanie On Tue, 2011-05-03 at 11:39 +0100, Michael Whapples wrote:Hello, I am using thunderbird 3.3a3 and I have noticed that the tree view showing folders can become outdated with orca. Here are some examples: 1. The number of new messages next to a folder is not updated, orca was still reporting one new message in my inbox when I had removed all messages (IE. the inbox entry read "inbox (1)"). 2. I have multiple email accounts on my computer, should I go to the first one and collapse it and then expand it again, the first folder is still reported as the second email account name. Does anyone have a clue what might be causing the bug? I am using orca 3.0.1, at-spi2 (dbus) and as I said thunderbird 3.3a3.
