Re: [orca-list] orca responding slowly when opening large folders in thunderbird.

[Francisco Javier Dorado Martínez <javier tiflolinux org>]

Hello guys
I have suffered this issue, and waiting for Mozilla when could fix this.
However, in the mean while, if you could try for example Thunderbird
60.9.0
It gives some warning error with selection-changed events that magically
improve performance a lot with a big inbox with Orca.
The error that Thunderbird shows is as follow:
(thunderbird:629978): GLib-GObject-.[1;33mWARNING.[0m **: .[34m00:01:31.002.[0m: 
../../../gobject/gsignal.c:3599: signal name 'selection_changed' is invalid for instance '0x7fe128738110' of 
type 'MaiAtkType3'
I have noticed that when Thunderbird has this error, things work better
from Orca side.
I have downloaded 60.9.0 from
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/60.9.0/

HTH,
Regards
   Javier
