Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird : when writing mail, Orca stops to read lines with link

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

I can reproduce it all the time.

The orca goes unresponsive and as soon as I try to exit it at-spi2 crashes.

I am not sure what triggers it because I am getting it all the time when the document content refreshes on gmail.

I'm running all the relevant libs with debug symbols included (at-spi2-core, glibc, glib2, libffi, pygobject, python) so I am going to send you all the debug stuff I was able to collect in a seperate message.

If you think I can provide more details, I will do that please let me know what to add or what to check if you know that.

Greetings

Peter

I'm not seeing this problem. I'm using Orca master and Firefox nightly.
I can take a guess at a fix, but the fix I have in mind might also not
work. How reliably can you reproduce this bug?
