Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird Improvements in Daily Builds Noticed

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,


I am also testing it right now.

With folders containing about 2000 messages it appears to be perfectly 
usable.

With really huge folders (I've just tested with folder with more than 
23000 messages inside) it takes some 30 seconds to become responsive 
again on my system but this is definatelly amazing.

I am no longer seeing app not responding dialog when leaving thunderbird 
window open and I have no unexpected freezes with yesterday's 
Thunderbird 66 nightly.


I'll be using this similar how I am using Firefox nightly for a few 
months already.


BTW it looks there are even more a11y improvements coming. List of 
folders inside the subscribe to folders dialog is finally becoming 
accessible!


I haven't yet discovered more.


Greetings


Peter
