Re: [orca-list] Nautilus slowness update #2 (was update #1)

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,

It's very important to add that this is so far only working when the 
nautilus is set to icons view (not list view).
Traditionally I am used to use list view so I can navigate over the 
files by using up and down arrow key however when icons view is now 
super responsive as opposed to the list view I can change my habit and I 
will use left and right arrow keys to navigate in a list of icons.
Navigation over the file icons is fantastic and instantaneous even when 
browsing huge folders (I've tested with /usr/bin and /usr/lib and 
/usr/include on my system).
Unfortunatelly there might be more severe accessibility issues with 
nautilus.
- When changing folders rapidly (e.g. by pressing alt+left or alt+right 
arrow keys) orca will sometimes freeze and I need to restart it in order 
to get it to work again.
- The same is very likelly to happen when using quick search feature 
e.g. type a few letters of a filename, browse the list of icons and hit 
esc key to dismiss the search. Sometimes orca will freeze.
- A lot of buttons and radio buttons found when expanding Actions menu 
is not keyboard accessible at all. Unfortunately using orca 
functionality to emulate mouse clicks is not working there either. The 
concrete feature I am missing is ability to sort the list of files.
- While I am at it activating orca's flat review in the nautilus main 
window is very very slow, it takes a few seconds here. I suspect there 
is a broken accessible objects hierarchy somewhere.
- In the nautilus preferences window there are some unlabeled controls 
e.g. three comboboxes on the View tab that allow displaying extra 
details for files in the icons view.
- Those extra details are not accessible to orca. Displaying more than 
the file name and file type is possible in the list view however it 
looks as if list view display has not received this accessible event 
cleanup and orca is more likelly to freeze for me when using nautilus in 
the list view.
- When nautilus is switched to list view buttons for sorting the list 
are not displayed or at least I can't find them when expanding actions menu.
- When nautilus is set to list view activating orca flat review takes 
even longer and it's very likelly to completelly freeze for me.

Greetings

Peter
