Re: [orca-list] Orca slowdown with new windows

Hey Jace.

What you describe sounds like either an event flood or AT-SPI2 getting
bogged down. Even though things were still working for you, a full
debug.out might shed some light on things, like did a zillion events get
emitted?

If you can reliably reproduce the problem, I'd love to see the output.
Ideally captured using Orca master.

Thanks!
