Re: [orca-list] thunderbird



Hello Jason,

The Mozilla a11y team no longer works on Thunderbird and the Thunderbird team is overloaded.

In my humble opinion, unfortunately, the best way to make such issue fixed is to find money and pay someone to figure out it for you. Spending your time to ask the TB team to figure out it seems too optimistic, I've already a lot of difficulties to make a column order regression fixed so I don't think such huge bug could be figured out in a reasonable amount of time.

Best regards.

The last comment in that bug report:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=924915

is asking for some profiling work to be done.

If anyone on this list is able to contribute (I'm thinking of someone not involved in development), running the profiler and commenting on the bug would help it toward resolution.

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.

Before everyone tries this and says they see no difference.... That message is from nearly five years ago. The customization cited was just an experiment for a bug that was not in Orca. And that customization experiment was removed years ago.
