Re: [orca-list] minor issues in text edit fields

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I have gedit, and perhaps some other editors, stop seeing document text from time to time, but thought it 
might be because 
I'm not using gnome. I can be reading a txt file and all is well, but then after a pause, doesn't seem like 
it'd be long 
enough for a screensaver to kick in even if that is happening in fluxbox which I'm not at all sure it does, I 
hear nothing 
when I try and read or edit the file. 
I am almost possitive this happened when I was using XFCE much more, and probably in mate as well. I can't 
tie this to any 
specific set of conditions, and am close to sure that we are often talking a shorter interval than any 
screensaver 
configuration I have ever used.
I have LO installed, but use it much less than gedit or mousepad, and I don't remember for sure whether this 
has happened 
to me using LO-writer.
If there has been a change in the file since last save when things go silent I get speech back when saving, 
but how often 
I am not sure. Will hae to pay much closer attention to all of this. 
When using firefox I often have to toggle carrot nav off and back on to be able to read the webpage quite 
frequently, and 
this can certainly happen in a minute or two sometimes, probably less than a mnute at times. 
Some times this does not happen and I have been writing it off to usiing less supported GUIs and or my 
limited hardware, 
but the latter should not be a factor when using fluxbox, or even XFCE most of the time as I limit 
multitasking rather 
strictly in the GUI, and am not using resource intensive CLI apps several at a time either. Using fluxbox I 
generally have 
a bit of free RAM and little or nothing in swap, and if not using firefox, LO-writer or some other more CPU 
and memory 
hungry GUI apps, may have a couple hundred MB of RAM completelly free.
