Re: [orca-list] Zoom with Orca

[<prayner unimelb edu au>]

I can't shed much light on this. Do you get any messages in the
terminal where you start zoom? I usually run it with alt-f2 which
doesn't show messages but starting it from an emacs shell it prints a
lot of stuff to the shell output but also will present a few things to
orca. I tested whether unsetting QT_ACCESSIBILITY would silence it but
it didn't. I would be quite surprised if a minor version change did
the trick though.
I'll try to think of some other tests
