Keys bleeding through was a side effect of a change made in at-spi2 and
was subsequently addressed in at-spi2. So the good news is that it
should be fixed. And I am no longer seeing this problem. The bad news is
that the at-spi2 fixes were, I believe, included in GNOME 3.4 so I would
have thought you would have them in Ubuntu 12.04.

Much of the Gecko sluggishness resulted from event floods we get from
Gecko. The most critical were solved in Atk. As with the previous item,
I am not seeing this sluggishness, but the changes were included in
GNOME 3.4, so I would have thought you would have them in Ubuntu 12.04.

It would be helpful for Luke or someone else close to the Ubuntu
Accessibility situation to comment on why this may be occurring. I
myself primarily use and develop in Fedora because of its
close-to-upstreamness.

Take care.
