Re: [orca-list] On Firefox/Thunderbird: when starting Orca, it is extremely sluggish to detect the current position



Hi Alex.

I just tried with Orca master and Firefox nightly in gnome-shell and didn't see any problem. Do you see the problem with gnome-shell too, or only with Mate?

Another possibility is that you have some other application running that's stalling Orca. If you do "orca -l" in a terminal, it will list the accessible applications, along with a timestamp. If there's a badly-behaved application, getting this list will take a while. And the timestamp should tell you which app was the slow-or-no responder.

Hello all,

Environment:
- Debian 10
- Firefox Nightly / Thunderbird Daily
- Orca 3.36.x and Orca master
- Mate with Compiz

Steps to reproduce:
1) Launch Firefox Nightly on this page for example
2) Launch Orca, here with the shortcut control + alt + o doing "orca --replace"
3) Orca starts and says "screen reader on" and nothing more during more than 10 seconds

Result:
Orca takes more than 10 seconds to announce the current position.

Expected result:
Orca should react quicker as it does before.

Note:
I don't have made many upgrade on my computer, I'm pretty sure it's a change on Firefox/Thunderbird Nighlly/Daily side which impacts Orca.
After Orca has started, the reactivity is correct.

Thanks in advance.
