Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird 24 non-responsiveness (was Re: Orca uses much cpu on my machine)

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I have also been able to build and install the latest master branch of 
orca. It partially fixed garbled texts of live region anouncements but 
unfortunatelly the lag is there.
I am going to try to write exactly how I can reproduce the issue maybe 
it will help a bit.

I have multiple accounts setup let's call them account 1 and account 2. 
Account 1 is at the top of the folder treeview and account 2 is below 
account 1. So while they both are collapsed arrowing up from account 2 I 
can move directly to account 1.
When I start thunderbird inbox for the account 2 is selected inside the 
folder treeview and focus is placed inside the message list. Message 
preview is not displayed and message filter is displayed. Other settings 
in the view menu are not changed.
Here are the steps to make it hang and freeze:
- press shift+tab to go to the message filter edit field,
- press shift+tab once more to go to the folders treeview,
- press left arrow multiple times until you realize account 2 is collapsed,
- press up arrow to move to account 1 and notice it's collabsed too,
- press right arrow key to expand account 1,
- press down arrow to go to the inbox for account 1.
Now if you press any key e.g. the tab key to go to the message filter 
edit field you will hear nothing but key echo as the keypresses are 
anounced. If you are lucky you can alt+tab to another app and work there 
however even returning back into thunderbird after a while does not 
return access to thunderbird back. If you are back in thunderbird, you 
can press super+alt+s to switch off and then switch back on the screen 
reader. After getting screen reader on utterance spoken, you will have 
to wait a little while and then curent control focused in thunderbird 
gets announced automagically and you will be able to continue as normal 
until you change account in thunderbird or move to another folder in the 
folders treeview which is not a child of the folder you are currently in.

I know this is somewhat complicated but I can always reproduce the issue 
by following these steps.

Greetings

Peter
