Re: [orca-list] thunderbird - typing and reading with orca

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hi there,

I have Ubuntu Mate 20.04 as well.


Even though i don't experience strange behavior now, I remember issues 
very similar to what you're describing with Thunderbird 78 installed 
from Snap.

Deleting characters was one issue if I remember right.


However, the whole Snap TB was quite strange. I was unable, despite 
setting up the permissions, to use profile from another partition for 
example. While setting up an account, TB did not recognize ProtonMail as 
my eMail provider and tried to connect to protonmail.com through imap, 
instead of using the locally running imap bridge, which is normally 
recognized by Thunderbird.

And even when I configured everything, I managed to make the mails 
reading working, but sending an eMail always failed with no offers for 
adding an exception for ProtonMail's certificate.

And as a minor, but also noticeable plus, the whole client was 
completely soundless and did not have any need to switch to my native 
language.


So, I have removed the thing, now I'm running a compiled version 
downloaded directly from thunderbird.net, also TB 78, more precisely 
78.6, and everything works without any issues, including characters 
deletion.


Best regards


Rastislav
