hi
I'll add to this, that I can usually get speech back by manually
killing and restarting orca. Running killall orca speech-dispatcher,
and then restarting orca does the trick. This does need fixing though
as it is very annoying, particularly if you don't remember exactly
where you were when this happened.
 I thought it might be a mate issue, but if it happens with multiple
editors and desktops then it's either an orca or an at-spi issue.
Sounds kind of like at-spi, but not completely sure, as orca will read
everything else but that editor just fine.
Thanks
Kendell clark

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. -- B.H.

all I'm using latest orca master as of this morning, and I've
noticed some strange issues in edit fields. I don't know if it's
edit fields in general, or specific applications, but here's what
I've noticed. I read most of my text files in pluma, which is a
fork of gedit 2.x. I also use libreoffice. Sometimes if I'm using
say all and the screen saver kicks in, after dismissing the
screensaver I can no longer access the text in those applications.
Orca reports "documentName": pluma or libreoffice writer, depending
on what i'm using, inaccessible. Trying to use the up and down
arrow keys to review simply does nothing. I've tried left clicking
with the mouse, using a simulated left click, and orca reports
"could not find location". Can anyone else confirm? Speaking of the
screen saver, would it be at all possible to enable orca to
continue reading if the screensaver kicks in, if you're using say
all? Just a thought Thanks Kendell clark
