[orca-list] GNOME 3.4.x Accessibility unreliable on Netbook w/1 GB ram.

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Hi, Friends!

I have tried a few spins of Ubuntu 12.04, Open Suse, and Fedora 17, 32 
and 64-bit, all with same findings.

Symptoms:
After browsing a number of sites (could be as few as 5), I lose Orca 
structural navigation functions.  My system throws problem reports about 
at-spi2-core, and, in case of Ubuntu and friends, gives option of 
restarting the program.  In Fedora, there's a notification re: 
at-spi2-core-f17 package (same thing, but without the relaunch offer). 
If I restart Orca, partial functionality is restored.  That is, when not 
focused on a browser, some key bindings (including 'orca+q' and 
'orca+t') are available.  In a terminal, flat review is available. 
Nowhere is Orca able to read based on the cursor, as moved by the arrow 
keys.  The only way to restore full performance seems to be a system 
restart; maybe just an x-session restart would do it?

Frustrated,



Dave
