So, when I log it in atspimon.py I see two text caret move events
followed by a focus event and two focus state change events.  Notable
the pairs of text caret move and focus state change events are for the
same accessible.  As I discussed on irc it looks like the duplicate
events are a bug in atspimon.py since when I walk through this in gdb I
clearly see gecko only fire one text caret move and one focus event.

so, assuming orca sees the right thing that is a text caret move a focus
event and then a focus state change event I would guess what is
happening is orca presents info for two of those 3 events.

I remember :)  As you said it looks hard, and I'm not particularly good
with either python or orca's internals.
