I've seen a few of these. But I cannot reproduce them to save my life.
My theory is that we are getting an accessible event for an object which
became dead/freed while we were responding to an event from it. Because
of such issues in the past, Orca now handles LibreOffice events
immediately rather than adding them to the event queue (i.e. to minimize
the likelihood of an object dying on us mid-processing). But apparently
that ain't good enough. I'll keep trying to pin down a test case that is
reliable. If you find one, please pass it along.

This I'm not seeing. But I'll try to figure out what's going on.
