Re: [orca-list] Small status update for plugin system based orca

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi Chrys, works for me.


Just for the record, one thing I've noticed about orca is that every now 
and then, when exiting the preferences screen with the esc key, the orca 
takes at least 5 seconds to get back up and running. This has nothing to 
do with the implementations made by Chrys as it has been happening for 
some time.
