I have a case similar to (1), but it only occurs under the MATE desktop 
environment - not GNOME 40. Closing Chromium with Alt-F4 and then using 
Alt-Tab to attempt to switch to a different application is enough to 
generate a Python traceback and to leave Orca unresponsive. The only 
work-around I found at that point is to open Orca settings with 
Insert-Space, whereupon it manages to recover. Closing Chromium and then 
moving straight to the desktop avoids the issue.

I need to collect debugging details and write a proper report. My only 
purpose in this message is to note that it's somewhat similar to your 
first case, but easily reproduced.
