Hello,

I've got wonderful news!

Thunderbird guys have promptly addressed the issue and today's daily build already contains the fix.

Awesome!

Hello Peter and thanks for sharing this regression with us,

I've added in CC Jörg from Thunderbird team who is in charge of 
regression in the Thunderbird project. Maybe It could answer your question.

I'm personally not aware of such bug report but I don't have the time to 
track bug of all projects.

Best regards,
Alex.

Hello,


Unfortunatelly I have also discovered quite serious regression when 
looking at Thunderbird message list when using current daily build.


The thing is that message list columns such as unread flag or has 
attachment flag are no longer exposed to orca.


I haven't yet found if there is a bug filled about it so if you do know 
there is one or you can reproduce this, please let me know.



Greetings


Peter

 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

 Hi all,
 I have noticed extreme speed improvements in the latest versions of 
 Thunderbird nightlies when using Orca and thought I would alert 
 users. Its not completely fixed but it seems much better now. A 
 while ago, there had started to be a speed issue when switching into 
 folders with many messages. If my memory is correct then, it was 
 determined that Thunderbird was sending way too many accessibility 
 events. I am not sure if this is improved or if there was some other 
 improvement but I think its definitely worth running the latest 
 builds for those who feel comfortable. You can just untar this and 
 run it from anywhere. I am running on a fully up to date void Linux 
 Mate system with no issues. I got my copy from
