hi all
Ok, I've decided it's time to double down and start helping orca,
since my emails thus far have been little more than, hi. X and Y
doesn't work, I think it's z. With not much else to back them up. I've
got a couple of questions about orca's debug files. I know how to
start orca with a debug file being generated, orca
- --debugfile=/path/to/file. There's also a setting in orca's
preferences labeled something like cycle the debug level at run time,
which is neat. I've bound this to orca+d, which works. My question is,
does this work? and if so, where are the files stored? I have a couple
of issues in orca that are fixed by restarting orca, and I don't want
to have a gigabyte of superfluous info, me reading a file, navigating
the desktop, etc before whatever the issue is. My other question is if
there is any key combination I can press, to open a window containing
developer friendly information about an object? Nvda has something
like this, you press nvda+f1 when focusd on something, and it'll  open
up a window containing debug info about an object. Name, type, roll
type, control info. Sometimes it's a lot of none, or pane, but it is
there. I'm trying to debug orca on the mate panel, which while it does
work, often says  "bottom expanded edge panel frame. Bottom expanded
edge panel. Panel. Name of panel icon" after every tab, but not
always.  I'm also trying to debug orca's thunderbird and firefox
support. Joanie is much better at this than I am, but I'm trying to
handle issues where after a download has begun, orca cannot
structurally navigate a page unless the page is refreshed. Any
helpwould be great. I want to help orca if I can. Firefox support has
gotten much better in the last few weeks, great work all. I want to
help, instead of writing in with, hi. This doesn't work. Thanks. Etc.
Thanks
