Re: [orca-list] thunderbird

Mattias: To be more clear on the setting you found. It was there to 
prevent checking for dead accessibles by asking an accessible object for 
its name. Due to how AT-SPI2 works, this check is an excellent way to 
find them and ignore them. Finding and ignoring events from dead 
accessible objects quickly makes Orca much more performant.

Unfortunately, this test was having a side effect in certain apps -- 
some other bug in those apps. And that side effect was causing Orca to 
not present events that it should. Therefore, I solved that side effect 
by not doing this particular check. The experimental setting was there 
to help debug the problem of why Orca wasn't presenting events it 
should. Once that answer was determined, the experiment hack was no 
longer needed.

I get that Thunderbird is super slow when you have mail folders with 
tons of messages in them. That is why I filed 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=924915.
