Hello, Just done another test: Did the collapsing of an item in the tree view and then expanding it again. The issue was observed, even after minimising thunderbird and alt+tabbing back to it. Then I got orca to reload (orca --replace) and the tree view was reported correctly.
Ok, I'll bet its a caching issue then, I'm not very sure, but I'll gues
its an issue with gecko not emitting children-changed:{added,removed} when
it should. Someone should check this is the case though.
Could there be anything in at-spi2 causing this? I seem to remember that caching was mentioned to try and improve performance of at-spi2 on dbus. Could restarting orca affect a cache in at-spi2 if one exists?
yes, this behavior makes sense, libatspi and so its cache is in the orca process so killing the process and restarting orca will get rid of the cache with bad data, and create a new empty cache. Trev

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 information. Therefore, if Orca is reporting outdated information, my guess would be that Thunderbird is providing us with outdated information. 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Whapples wrote:Hello, I am using thunderbird 3.3a3 and I have noticed that the tree view showing folders can become outdated with orca.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.
