Re: [orca-list] orca doesn't recognize changed button texts in firefox

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Halim.

Orca gets its name information from pyatspi, which caches names and
updates that information when it gets name-changed events from the app
or toolkit. These events seem to go missing at times, so we can get
stale information from pyatspi. Anyhoo.... I have just committed a patch
to Orca master which no longer uses the pyatspi cache for names. Can you
please pull master and see if this solves your problem?

Thanks!
