Re: [orca-list] Major Crashes with Orca and LibreOffice Calc!

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
A while ago I was also experiencing unexpected app crashes with 
libreoffice 4.0. I was unable to discover the issue however those were 
no such strong crashes that I was unable to restart orca. It's 
surprising that you have to restart the whole X session in order to get 
orca talking again. Can you try to blindly kill soffice binary using 
gnome-terminal instead if that will at least partially rescue you from 
restarting the whole X session?
Last two days I have done some extensive writing using libreoffice calc 
and I am surprised that I haven't noticed the crashes again during these 
two days. I am running up to date gnome 3.10, orca 3.10.2 and 
libreoffice 4.1.4 on arch linux.
